Should I go OFC or CCA?

[SVTraptor 10+ year member]

Hey guys. I'm going to start my build in my 2012 F150 Raptor. I just want to run a single 10 or 12. Run an amp something along the lines of 500-600 wrms.

I was just wondering if CCA would be enough? I probably won't ever have an amp over 750wrms. But, I don't want to risk any chance of damaging the vehicle if that is possible.

I'd rather save the 35$ at knu and go with CCA. Would that be sufficient?

Just go with OFC 4 gauge or CCA 1/0... You will go bigger I promise you hahaha

OK there is a question of overkill or not. There is no way I will go over 1000wrms. I am going to run a single 10 or 12 sealed. .8 cu ft max. I just will not have the room to go bigger. I do not want to overkill it if I don't have to.

I plan on 500-600wrms and in reality it will probably stay that way forever.

CCA is fine, check out audio technix for wire, then get the fuse holders etc etc from knu. Like BnR said.
