it has to do with slowing down the electron flow so that your audio signal will not travel quicker to your mids/highs than it will to your subs.
Great, thanks for the info!

Yes, thank you as I was confused about running an additional wire from the negative terminal to the chassis. If I run into any ground loop problems then I'll revisit this "Big 3" for replacing those wires. Thanks for your help and clarification.
