[QUOTE="DammitJames, post: 5643883, member: 572277"] this is the easist way to tell right here its called a voltage drop take a DMM and put it on dc volts turn the amps on and have em drawing some kinda power(they have to be using power for it to work right) then put on meter lead on one end of ur wire then the other one on the other end of the wire(on the same wire not a + and - still hooked up to the amps or whatever it is) with the amps on and drawing power(playing) the DMM should read 0v anything more means u are losing voltage in your wires this is a common practice in the automotive industry for checking starter and alt wires it will work on the positive and negative wires just make sure ur leads are on the same wire [/QUOTE]
