Question about voltage drop.

Can having too long of a ground cause significant voltage drops?

Re: Question about voltage drop.

Yeah I do to usually. But I kept it long cause I'm waiting for my box from Logan before I decide where I am going to mount my amp. I just wanted to know if that would cause it.

Re: Question about voltage drop.

depends on the power going threw it and the length and gauge to determine the resistance of it.
