No there is more cable which would mean more resistance if anything, but most cable has zero resistence.

Thicker cable allows you to carry more amps, but the voltage drop will get greater the longer/thicker the cable is.

Been looking on Ebay and found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14932&item=5772381145&rd=1

Do you think thats got everything I need? Seems to have to me, just want a 2nd opinion so I dont end up buying the wrong thing..... :look:

Ive bought all my equipment for my install so now all I need is the wiring for it! :D
Ive done a list of all the wiring I think I will need and how many metres of it. So can anyone tell me if Ive missed anything off or not allowed enough length for any of the wires?
This is to power 1 x Alpine MRD-M300 and 1 x Alpine MRV-T420 amps in a Corsa B.

4 gauge input, 2 x 8 gauge output distribution block
5m x 4 gauge power wire
4m x 8 gauge power wire
10m? x 10 gauge speaker wire (to go from amp in the boot to components in front doors)
2m x 8 gauge ground wire
6m x RCA lead
6m x RCA lead
6m x Remote Lead

Does that sound about right and wheres a good place to buy the wiring from?

Thanks ;)
