1,106. 1. Grand Rapids, MI. Jan 17, 2006. #9. There's no rule of thumb. The assumption is that you'll lose more voltage through a wire than through the chassis of the vehicle, so you should keep the wire portion of the ground as short as possible. That's an assumption that's been challenged a bit lately, though.

For example, if your ground is 5' and your amps can draw 100A -- 2 ga would drop less than .08v 5 ga about .16v 8 ga about .31v The only one that raises an eyebrow is 8 ga, and if your ground is shorter, or your system draws less …
