GC cable not nessasary need large diameter. Why nowadays all is called "multi-point grouding cable'?
Those GC cable main purpose is not carry high cuurent only, it actually connect the particular point and make it "fully grouded', AKA 0v. Ori car normally just have 1 or 2 grouding points from battery terminal to car body at the engine bay. Means our car body is actually in ground potential (0v) from +ve point of view. But does it really @ ground for whole chassis if the grouding point is at, let say th front of engine bay? The answer is NO.
Car body is constructed from joining all the panel. So from panel to panel, all are connected by bolt, and panel is not a perfect conductor. So when we connect, let say audio amp, normally shop will connect negative terminal to car body at cabin. However car body @ cabin is not nessasary equal to 0v, due to panel to panel resistance and resstance of the pnel itself. So when current flow from battery +ve to amp and loop back to battery -ve through car body, voltage drop exist across the panel, let say 1 volt voltage drop across the panel, means now from the point of view of amp +ve terminal refer to amp -ve terminal, the effective voltage across the amp is just 11v, as 1v is drop by panel, result? amp is not running at optimum level, therefore performance will drop. Imagine if all the electrical devices in car such as spark plug, lamp etc also use this kind of connection, what will happen is the performance will reduce.
Therefore this is where the GC play its role. By connect all those GC from battery -ve terminal directly to multi points such as engine block, firewall etc, is to make that point directly grounded same as battery -ve to ensure the ground current can loop back to -ve as short as possible, so that voltage drop across ground loop is eliminate and ensure electrical devices to run @ max performance.
So even our stock ground cable is huge ass cable also useless if the grouding point is just at one particular point.
In simple word, the correct way to connect in car electrical device is connect -ve to battery -ve directly by wire rather than connect to car body, this is what assesories shop refuse to do due to extra cable cost, let say if ur amp is located @ boot.
so from ur point of view, thickness if cable is negligible? the conductive level too? say some use copper, some say platinum coated, so gold plated and whatsoever, some say china steel, or cap ayam metal...consider ok la? janji it is pointing towards the -ve terminal? no matter is 5 - 1 - -ve or 5 - -ve? janji ada connected is ok jor?
