Power Wire and Ground wire are the same right?

I'm about to order some wire and I just wanted to make sure. I was going to order some Stinger Pro 4 gauge that I need for both the amps power and ground wire. I wasn't sure because most websites list Power wire, and don't list ground so I'm assuming its the same type of wire.

Uh, make sure you hook the wire up in the right direction because might run the current the wrong way through the amp.

There should be arrows printed on the jacket of the wire pointing which direction for current flow. If the arrows are not there, contact the manufacturer directly and ask them.

this is true, Kicker has the arrows to specify. One time i didn't do that and the battery drained the power on my amp and it disintegrated.
