Does the length of power wire matter?

[QUOTE="raider89, post: 8617304, member: 616666"] I have 20ft of 0 gauge power wire and I have a good 3 to 4 feet of it laid out in the trunk, I was wondering if cutting that down 3 or 4 feet would lower amp temps and provide even more stability ( I am not having any issues just wanting to do it correctly.) Its 20ft of 0 gauge into a block with 2 2ft 4 gauge outs to 2 amps. The ground is 0 gauge as well, and its 3ft long into a block with 2 1ft 4 gauge outs. (Bolted to the rear shock bolts.) Im using OFC SUNDOWN AUDIO AMP KIT 1/0 The amps are: JBL GTR 1001 and Rockford Fosgate Punch P400X4. Sub is a 10 inch AB XFL 4 OHM DVC wired down to 2 OHM Front Speakers are JBL GTO 609C's 3 OHM, speakers are unbridged. Gain's are at 50% or just below, no bass boost. Stock electrical currently, if shortening the power wire I would be able to throw part of the big 3 also for battery to ground wire. [/QUOTE]
