CCA power cables for car amplifiers by the metre

Discover our CCA power cables for car amplifiers and car audio installations. Several gauges are available for the power or ground connection of your amplifier, subwoofer and car audio system.

CAR AUDIO CCA CABLE

Power cable for car amplifier

CCA cable, or Copper Clad Aluminium, is an aluminium conductor coated in copper. It is an affordable solution for the power wiring of many car audio installations when its gauge is correctly sized.

CCA CABLE FOR AMPLIFIER

What is CCA cable?

CCA stands for Copper Clad Aluminium. The conductor is mainly made of aluminium coated with a layer of copper. This type of cable is widely used in car audio and allows for an affordable power supply, provided you select a gauge suitable for the current required by the installation.

CCA cable

CCA cable is an attractive solution for many car audio installations. It allows, in particular, to power an amplifier while keeping costs under control when the gauge is correctly chosen.

OFC cable

OFC cable uses high-purity copper and has higher conductivity than CCA of a comparable gauge. It is generally preferred for demanding installations, high power consumption and high-power car audio.

CAR AMPLIFIER WIRING

Battery power supply and amplifier ground

Amplifier power cable

The positive cable connects the power source to the amplifier or to the distribution block. Its gauge must be selected based on the current consumed and the cable length.

Ground cable

CCA cable can also be used to create a properly sized ground connection. The connection must be suitable for the cable gauge and the electrical requirements of the amplifier.

CCA CABLE GUIDE

What CCA cable gauge should I choose for my amplifier?

The gauge should not be chosen solely based on the stated RMS power. You must take into account the amplifier's power consumption, the cable length and the conductivity of the material used.

✓ Power — amplifier used
✓ Consumption — current required
✓ Length — battery to amplifier
✓ Gauge — cable in mm²
✓ Ground — properly sized
✓ Fuse — power supply protection

CCA OR OFC?

The cable material matters as much as its gauge

A CCA cable and an OFC cable of the same gauge do not have the same electrical conductivity. To compare two car audio power cables, you must therefore take into account both the gauge, length, conductor material and the current required by the amplifier.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ – Car Audio CCA Cable

What is CCA cable?

CCA stands for Copper Clad Aluminium. It is a conductor mainly made of aluminium coated with copper.

What is the difference between CCA and OFC cable?

CCA uses mainly copper-clad aluminium, while OFC uses high-purity copper. At the same gauge, OFC has better electrical conductivity.

Can CCA cable be used for a car amplifier?

Yes, provided you choose a gauge suitable for the required current, the cable length and the configuration of the installation.

What CCA gauge should I choose for a car amplifier?

It depends on the amplifier's power consumption and the cable length. Installations requiring more current generally require a larger gauge.

What CCA cable for a 1000 W RMS amplifier?

It is not possible to determine the gauge precisely solely from the RMS power. The amplifier's power consumption, efficiency and the cable length must also be taken into account.

Can 35 mm² CCA be used for an amplifier?

Yes, for an installation whose electrical requirements match this gauge. You must check the amplifier's power consumption and the total cable length before choosing.

Is 50 mm² CCA cable suitable for car audio?

50 mm² CCA can be used for certain installations requiring a large gauge. Its suitability depends on the current required and the cable length.

Is CCA cable sold by the metre?

Yes. Cables in this collection are sold by the linear metre. If you order several metres, the cable is supplied in a continuous length according to the quantity ordered.

Can CCA cable be used for an amplifier ground?

Yes. The ground cable can be made of CCA provided its gauge is correctly sized for the installation.
