Hard telling without seeing the wire

 

[MrT1500]

How would i be able to tell without look at the wire. I have a Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bd amp running 2 Rockford p3's and i'm needing to know if the lighting audio wire kit with a 200 amp fuse will work with a 1/0 AWG kit. If it's all aluminum then i wont get it but if it's CCA i think it would be a good deal but i'm new to this

EDIT: I ment tell by looking at the wire.

how much per ft?? They do not sell CCA wire but that being said I would be worried that there 0awg is more rubber then actual copper.

Lightning audio is made by Rockford if memory serves me right

They dont sell it per ft. It's an amp kit they are selling for 109.99 and Yes Lighting Audio is made by Rockford Fosgate. The Fosgate 1/0 AWG kit is 299.99. I dont think it's necassary though for only 1500 Watts but i think i need alteast 4 AWG with 125amp fuse

Just so the OP knows there is no such thing as all Aluminum power wire(It would probably melt). CCA stands for Copper Coated Aluminum.

OFC stands for Oxygen free Copper. Also there is nothing wrong with CCA for the power your running IMO. Pure copper wire is best, but more expensive. Grab some KNU 4Ga from the Kolussus Fleks line and that will do the job for you without a problem, if you plan on upgrading get the 0Ga and be done with it. A quality wire will usually but not always have the AWG symbol stamped on it, I beleive it signifies that it is true American Welding Gauge, In other words it's the correct amount of copper strands....
