[QUOTE="accuab, post: 7553783, member: 622869"] OFC has a higher current transfer because it has the least resistance. CCA = copper clad aluminum so it it aluminum with a copper outside. Aluminum has a greater resistance than copper. If I were going the CCA route, I would get a larger size wire than what is recommended for the amp. Your amp calls for 4 awg wire. I'm not honestly sure of the exact differences between current transfer between the two. I was in this same boat long ago and the cheaper price was appealing with the CCA but I went OFC for peace of mind. Skimping on wiring will only lead to bad end results. But many will say CCA is fine as long as you're not running a crazy amount of watts. [/QUOTE]
