[QUOTE="Lakota, post: 4654154, member: 559574"] The more connections you have the more potential for voltage drops. Yes, there are quite a few connections in most cars because the entire body of a car is not a single piece. I don't understand what you mean by "evening out"? Think of these connections as a small resistor, when they are combined the resistance is increased. Now think of a single wire with zero connections between the ends; there would be no resistors for a voltage drop. Yes, the body of a car is quite large compared to a piece of wire, but the steel of a car is a mediocre conductor compared to copper. 1/0 is often times rated for currents of 300A or so and you can continue to do multiple runs of it unlike you can with the body. Have you never noticed that those who draw a shit load of current , like many of the cars in dB drag, highly prefer to do runs over the car body? [/QUOTE]
