less resistance = more heat?

[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7656400, member: 622908"] If you can maintain proper voltage no matter the current draw, lower impedance is technically cooler as there is less resistance to overcome for the current. If you are talking about amplifier components, if you wire below the nominal impedance of the amp, the amp becomes the point of resistance and therefore heat builds up. The highest impedance part of an electrical system will always generate the most heat. The smallest conductor of an electrical system (and lowest voltage) have similar effects. [/QUOTE]
