bigger wire carries more current more efficiently //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif less resistance //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I wired my truck today and gained almost half a volt at the battery. From 14.3 volts to 14.7 at idle.

get used to the idea that nothing that makes sence, works in car audio. lol

it helps because the factory wire is enough to carry power for your car. once you start adding power you excede what that little wire can take. why have a run of 1/0 if it has to go through a 10awg ground? its late so im sure im not making the best sence but you should get the idea.
