With all due respect Phil, your theory is correct, but not relevant in this case. We're talking about hundreds of amps through this cable, with in all likelyhood some minor high frequency switching / alternator noise, but not modulation of the whole rail continuously.

LCR equivalency of cables is completely true but again simply not of any consequence in this situation - due to power supply filtering (ironically LC and LCR networks themselves,) you simply don't get a current draw shaped like a square wave, or anything close.

If the cable was indeed carrying an alternating or modulated current, maximum skin depth can only be maintained (on 0 gauge in this example, bigger cables are worse) up to 250Hz anyway. So neither solid copper nor CCA are going to be much good if current draw is in fact a high frequency square wave.

Personally, I don't really care what this cable is made of - I am not in the market for 0 gauge cable - and sorry for letting the facts get in the way of a good argument!

I have seen some samples of the new CCA cable, and it is awesome.

I really liked it.

It is very flexibel, and the twisted design is just a great feature.

Worst.... review.... EVER!!!

no photo's, no indepth review, just a bunch of words on a screen..

i feel like i just frame it, put it on a wall and use it for demonstrations how not to write reviews

I thought the same thing!
