Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) vs. Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA)
Comparing OFC and CCA wiring kits to help you choose the right one for your amp.
On this page
Skar Audio offers two wire types for amplifier installations. The choice depends on your system's power requirements and budget considerations.
OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) Advantages
- OFC is typically more conductive and will carry more current to your amplifier
- Reduced strain on vehicle electrical systems
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- Superior heat absorption
- Recommended for systems exceeding 2000W
- Premium pricing
CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) Advantages
- Cost-effective pricing
- Suitable for systems rated at 2000W or below
- Great budget-friendly option
Recommendation
CCA is a really great product and budget-friendly if you do not have the need to carry high amounts of power. However, OFC delivers notable performance advantages for high-powered installations.
Your selection should align with your amplifier's wattage requirements and financial constraints.
