[QUOTE="JohnKuthe, post: 8528479, member: 670903"] Correct. All your amps know is the total resistance in the wires. It does not know or care about how many strands of wire it takes to get that low resistance, end to end. Just make sure each strand has the same low resistance, else things like "ground loops" can occur. And this is where running two different sized cables can have deleterious effects. Best to have one big fat low resistance cable for 12V+ and gnd, each. But you may be able to run two slightly different sized cables and not get too much/many deleterious looping effects.
