Your not adding resistance, where do you figure that? You want to add resistance take that 0ga wire and put in 8ga wire instead.
you take a alum. bar you hook up power at one end then hook up your amp to the other end.
Now you want MORE power to get to your amp, you double it. Now you got 2x the surface area to pull the current.
Same as if you were using wire. You add more and you can draw more current. Not hard concept to understand really.
As for the difference if I remember correctly, TeamSouthrnBass was close, it was in the 90% of copper. I know it was up there cause when I compared before we did all the thick blocks for my Astro.
