That does sound logical, but it is making a huge assumption.  It assumes that electricity flows through copper like soundwaves flow through air.  Electrons flow in the direction it is being pushed.  It doesn't double back on itself or it wouldn't be called DC.

Correct!

I should have clarified that DC was out of the picture.

Very high frequencies do travel through a conductor in a similar manner to the way sound travels through air.

For the purposes of this car audio forum, we should try to keep answers along the right track!

A larger gauge wire is a cooler wire.  Period.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
