Length of battery cable matters?

[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8711532, member: 679555"] Voltage drop on that is going to be like .4v different than the battery. With that low of a recommended fuse rating for that amp I don't see any situation really where the difference between .4 and .25 (after cutting) will make the slightest difference in your electrical. I think your only concern here should be RCA preout voltage and interference caused by the coil of slack. If you have good wire management it's no big deal or if you have 4v preouts or above then it's whatever. If you plan on having 5 kids maybe you'll want to retain the the length for a future Yukon XL or something, but otherwise I don't see using more than 14ft in any sedan, truck, or midsized suv/van even with aggressively contoured wire routing. If you upgrade later you still won't need the full amount because you'll probably have a distribution block. [/QUOTE]
