    Wire must be connected as short as possible between connection point. That' s the reason circular metal was use as - Bat Common Ground Connection. We call this Octopus connection. or Star connection.

    Actually, Chinoi is correct theoretically but TheGreenThing is correct practically. Wiring in series or in parallel won't impact real-world car electrical performance to a noticeable degree.

    The ideal speaker is one without any electrical impedance. The shorter the wire, the closer it is to the "ideal" as resistivity is tied to the unit length of the conductor.

    Who says the wire must not exceed one meter?
    Who says it must be short as possible?

    You're simply focusing on one part of the wire which is the length of the wire. You're forgetting the cross-diagonal diameter of the wire or "how thick it is". Want lesser resistance? Get a thicker AWG wire. That's all there really is. Must not exceed one meter? Ano yan? 22AWG wire? Most cars are wired up using 16GA wires minimum and even at 16AWG, you'll need 4 meters before resistance increases over 5% on a 2-ohm load. 10AWG? 15 meters. That's how huge the drop in resistance is. Now think about 4AWG.. Hell, most modern cars are wired with 4AWG nowadays (well, Audis, BMWs and Mercs are.. some, even thicker) and my stock Hyundai Sonata comes with Big Two 4AWG wired all up.

    People obsess over length too much. Trust me, if your house is on fire, it's faster displacing water from Point A to Point B using a 20 meter fire hose truck versus a 2 meter garden hose.

    Circle Plate
    By putting the circle plate with battery terminal, you can install up to 24 wires at the necessary place.

    Circle adapter system
    Circle adapter system has 12 connection holes in a concentric fashion which safely and efficiently distribute high-frequency current for better contact and exoergic.


    That's idiotic. Why would you want to install more wires when you can just have one thick one? Unless you go by the motto of "more is better", I like a cleaner engine bay instead. It's like having a road with cars passing through. You have 10 one-lane road going to Destination B versus one ten-lane road going to Destination B. When all else equal, it's the SAME.

    Hopes this helps.
