doing up your grounds helps to get more/steady current flow to your amp, which in turn can mean more db's.

Electricity is an algebra equation, what you do to one side, you must do to the other.

Yeah the 0 ga I am using is probably just compensation.....

As a USACi competitor, I had to get all the connections just so and terminate with heat shrink (knowing full well if the weight of the cable shifted in a compression fitting and ANY copper dared show itself... then blam kiss a point or two good bye). For show purposes the use of the correct size cable (over sizing is OK, under sizing is not) is a time and effort saver, those 4 and 8 ga wires really mate well with the accessories, 0 ga you generally have to chop off strands.
I will again thank Tim B for introducing us to Hooker connections, they allow for the use of ring terminals instead of compression connections (I think Stinger does this too) I too consider him a god (certainly not a Zeus, more like a Pan or Bacchus that likes to flip people off)
