The 4g would work but for the costs imo it's more worth it to get the 1/0 CCA (which can handle 3000w+). The CCA (or as knu calls it, 'KCA') can handle almost double the amount of current from 4g and only costs about $0.50 more per foot. To bring it down to a size the rubicon can handle, you can use some 1/0 reducers, or a distro block to bring it down to 4g, or if you have a battery in the back just use that as a distro.

knukonceptz wire is the best you can get. almost 5500 strands it equals to 2/0 gauge wire. its all i use.

Just get 1/0. Its worth it in the long run. youll want a bigger amp eventually and you wont have to d*ck around with buying it then. lol just save yourself the hassle and get some 1/0

yeah at first i was going to get 0g CCA but i read people saying that OFC was better so i was going to get 4g OFC but i rather much have 0g

People praise OFC like there's no tomorrow but honestly it's not that much better. 1/0 CCA is rated for 250A, 1/0 OFC is rated for like 300A. It's cheaper and you get more power by doing 2 runs of CCA. For most people they don't need to run anything over 3k for their setup so CCA will work just fine.

ofc is better 100 % copper ,cca is copper clad which really is just aluminum wire,not as good but will still work.my advice would be that if you think that there may be a chance of going to a bigger amp down the road , just get the ofc

I had the CCA and switched to the OFC. The OFC was a huge improvement. The CCA was holding the current no better then my the OFC 4awg it replaced. Moral to the story, do it right the first time. 1/0 OFC

my suggestion would be to peruse the classifieds here and buy wire as it becomes available. I've been buying 2/0 OFC welding wire on the classifieds here for 2.50 a foot shipped!! That's a ridiculously low price and it's rated to 450 amps.

what you guys think about this, 0g CCA for the big 3 and OFC 4g from the battery to the amp?....... or do EVERYTHING 4g OFC? max watts im running will be no more then 1600rms if that helps.... i cant afford 0g OFC ):

I wouldn't use cca for the big 3.
