[QUOTE="xSomeguyx, post: 590347, member: 552077"] You see, current flows the opposite way of voltage. Technically speaking, you've got positive volts going from your battery through your power cable, to the amp. Meanwhile, current is actually flowing from the negative end of your battery, through the body of your car, and up through the ground wire. Since it's a series circuit, the effective current flow is reduced to that of the 8gauge wire, and it's got to try and pull more to compensate. I don't know if this makes sense, but it was crystal clear in my head before I started typing... [/QUOTE]
