[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8392017, member: 665412"] There's nothing dumb about theory when that is what happens in real life... Just because it happens so fast that you can't "see" it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. One wire with the least resistance will take the initial current until it heats up to the point that its resistance is equal or more of the second wire and then the second wire takes current and finally both wires. It happens in nanoseconds (do you know how fast electricity wants to move?) which is why most people won't notice it until they see their fuse block melt (you think they're designed to handle the heat of two or more large fuses?) or they start popping fuses prematurely. Don't believe me? Go talk to an electrical engineer, do some research online, go to college and take engineering courses, calling someone dumb because you don't understand what truly happens yourself is blatant hypocrisy. There are people here who want to learn the right thing, even if it doesn't necessarily correlate to a real world differences in car audio (maybe your fuse block is over designed and can handle 600 amps). But in reality when you tell someone something truly wrong and they go work on other electronics that do require accuracy, and repeat the same incorrect procedures, things go bad fast. Insulting someone without having any proof otherwise doesn't do anything but make you look like a kid who calls names instead of participating in an intellectual conversation. Professionalism = Respect. [/QUOTE]
