Im going to be re-wiring my truck in the near future and was wondering if this is a decent wire.

If you are comfortable with CCA that is great wire.

If you'd prefer OFC I'd look at this http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?category=Kolossus Fleks Kable or Ultra-Flex welding cable.

CCA is copper clad aluminum. OFC is oxygen free copper. In theory OFC is better, in practice, a lot of people run CCA with no issues at all. Let personal budget and preference dictate. You can Google both and get some technical answers for both.

the diference is that it should be way more flexible and its ofc (oxygen free copper) instead of cca

I bought the KnuConceptz 4gauge kit from Amazon for like 25$ for my install. Super pleased with the quality. Has everything you need and the price is right.

Knukonceptz makes great stuff without a doubt. My buddy Disturbed uses their CCA and I've been impressed with everything from the power wire to the speaker wire.

Unless your running a ton of power the CCA stuff will be fine, they even claim on there site that its only a 15% dif in performance, but more then $2 more per ft.. IMHO not worth it unless I needed it, and even then I would just get welding cable

not running a ton of power at all. RE Audio dts1500.1 1000x1 at 1 ohm

The CCA is rated up to 250A, you will be fine running it, it just can be a little hard to install because it frays out once the insulation is stripped off, lol.

It frays is a understatment, it straight up falls apart

It's not THAT bad...it's never stopped me from completing an install. It helps if you terminate the wire immediately after stripping it while it's still compressed.
