[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4726360, member: 550915"] Voltage drop is proportional to current and resistance. Get the resistance low enough and you can flow a ton of current without an appreciable drop in voltage. 1-2 ft of 1/0 cable has almost negligible resistance, so it really isn't a limiting factor. The current handling capacity of wire is directly proportional to its diameter and inverseley porportional to its length. Get the piece of wire short enough and you can run a ton of current through it without any ill effects regardless of its diameter. The input blocks on the amp are solid and short. Of course fro there the current goes to the real limiting factor: the traces on the PC board of the amp. [/QUOTE]
