[QUOTE="ChaseinBass, post: 8636612, member: 655848"] I did ? And as far as the Og s explanation?? Think of it as a circle ⭕️ power coming out of alt to the battery then to your amps and neg continues on from amp to the frame of car and runs back up to where you alt is grounded which in most cases is engine block which has a small ground wire between it and the frame completing the circle or circuit as commonly referred to. So that being said you can’t have some o gauge wire running to your amp positive and 0 gage coming out of it and grounding on the frame because that same current has to be able to trave through the small wire between engine and frame and between body and frame ( I think the reason for this is for people grounding to car sheet metal and just provides an all around better ground for everything in the car that’s grounded to sheet metal like lights etc ) and will cause a bottle neck in you electrical path. That’s why you need to up wire size to do your big three or four. Kind of same reasoning you wouldn’t use a 0 gauge positive battery cable on your car and use a 14 gauge wire for a neg battery cable. Hope that helps and yes I know I am not very good at putting my thoughts into text lol [/QUOTE]
