[QUOTE="sumone, post: 379804, member: 551481"] Cool - just needed some assurance. Basically how I see it is that the larger wire (bigger cross section) handles more current and has a lower resistance (at the same voltage). So if the current I'm running through my amp is safely handled by gauge X and gauge Y, using both wires should be safe. My amp is a usx4065 and the fuse is only 30A...If I remeber correctly, 8gauge can do up to about 60A. hopefully this "ground wire" is a ground wire though....cause I still can't find out where it's going...
