OFC OR CCA
Which speaker cable should you choose?
Our selection includes OFC copper speaker cables
as well as CCA tinned aluminium cables. The choice depends
on your installation, the wiring length, the power
transmitted and the budget. For demanding systems and high
power, OFC cable is generally preferred.
OFC speaker cable
OFC speaker cable uses high-purity copper. It is
particularly suitable for Car Audio installations seeking
good conductivity, especially for speakers,
woofers and subwoofers powered by an amplifier.
CCA speaker cable
CCA cable uses copper-clad aluminium.
It is an affordable solution for many
car audio installations when the gauge and length
are suitable for the use.
CAR AUDIO WIRING
From tweeters to high-power subwoofers
Cable for car speakers
To connect a component kit, coaxial speakers,
mid-range drivers, mid-bass or tweeters to an amplifier,
select a gauge suited to the power and the
length required in the vehicle.
Cable for subwoofers
A powerful subwoofer may require a larger cable
gauge, especially when the impedance is low or the
transmitted power is high. 2×4 mm²
and 2×6 mm² gauges are available to meet the requirements of more
demanding Car Audio installations.
SPEAKER CABLE GUIDE
Which speaker cable gauge should you choose?
Sizing depends mainly on the transmitted power,
the impedance of the speaker or subwoofer and the total
cable length. A small speaker installation does not
have the same requirements as a high-power subwoofer.
✓ Power — transmitted RMS power
✓ Impedance — speaker load
✓ Length — amp / speaker distance
✓ Gauge — 1.5 to 6 mm²
✓ Conductor — OFC or CCA
✓ Use — speaker, woofer or subwoofer
Not sure which gauge to choose?
Contact Sound Auto Concept with the model of your amplifier,
speakers or subwoofer. We can help
you choose the right cable for your installation.
CAR AUDIO SUBWOOFER CABLE
A gauge suited to high-power systems
On a powerful subwoofer installation, the cable between
the amplifier and the subwoofer must be sized to
carry the required current. Our large-gauge cables
allow for the connection of subwoofers and SPL systems
requiring heavier speaker wiring.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ – Speaker & subwoofer cables
Which speaker cable gauge should you choose for a car speaker?
The gauge depends on the power, impedance and length
of the cable. For many car speakers, gauges
of 1.5 and 2.5 mm² are commonly used.
Which speaker cable gauge should you choose for a subwoofer?
Powerful subwoofers may require a larger gauge.
Depending on the power, impedance and cable length,
gauges of 2.5, 4 or 6 mm² may be considered.
What is the difference between OFC and CCA speaker cable?
OFC cable uses high-purity copper while CCA
is mainly composed of copper-clad aluminium.
Their electrical conductivity is therefore different.
Is 2×1.5 mm² cable suitable for car speakers?
2×1.5 mm² is suitable for many
car speaker installations. However, the final choice depends
on the power and length of the wiring.
When should you use 2×2.5 mm² speaker cable?
2×2.5 mm² can be used for speakers,
mid-bass or woofers requiring a larger gauge,
as well as for some longer connections.
Is 2×4 mm² cable suitable for a subwoofer?
Yes, 2×4 mm² is suitable for many
subwoofer installations. However, you must take into account the power,
impedance and cable length.
Why use 2×6 mm² cable for a subwoofer?
A large gauge such as 2×6 mm² can be useful
for certain high-power subwoofers when the transmitted
current and installation configuration require it.
Can you use the same cable for a speaker and a subwoofer?
Yes, provided the gauge is suitable. The principle of
the cable is the same, but a powerful subwoofer may require
a larger gauge than that used for speakers.
Are speaker cables sold by the metre?
Yes. This collection includes speaker and
subwoofer cables offered by the metre so you can order
the length suited to your installation.
