Lol, why so defensive?
I never said it would be less than 2/0 gauge and my numbers are probably garbage anyways. I don't think there's an easy way to measure resistances that low without a high current meter of some sort.

lol, i wasnt being defensive, wasn't sure if i said I was using 2/0ga wire or not, didn't remember.
now if i woulda said... I WAS USIN 2/0 GA WIRE BIOTCH!!!!!
it woulda been another story! lmao

To measure tru resistance the item to be metered must be out of the circuit. Otherwise your measuring the FULL resistance of the whole circuit.
So unhook every wire off your explorer then measure
As you can guess this is not feasible

not true at all!
If that was an issue with the DMM, it would also be an issue with the amp - so it needs to be measured.

I agree that you want readings to be as close to rael world conditions as possible, so all factors would be considered when measuring chassis resistance. Zeroing the meter with the non inductive leads is a good plan as well.
