[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 5681327, member: 540940"] If you're running megawatts and need 1/0 or larger that is probably true, but if you're running 4 ga pwr/grnd the chassis is a better conductor due to a much larger surface area. I have not seen definitive evidence, but Esoteric Audio who would benefit from selling 15' of ground wire for every install claims the "average" chassis is equivalent to about 1/0 gauge. One of the engineers at carsound has gotten results closer to 2/0. JL says more like 4. [/QUOTE]
