I use CCA in my car and have had 0 issues. OFC if overhyped imo unless you are running over 2500w CCA will handle the job just fine.

It has ACRC INC written on it. I'm not sure what kind it is.

Not to hijack, but where would be the best place to get 1/0 wire? Seems the consensus is knukonceptz, but is it worth the extra $$$ to get it from them?
