By using 4, 2, or 0awg(if the amp will accept it), the amp will sound cleaner and run cooler. Look at the factory reccomendations on the box of any high power amp, these specs will have been written by the electronic engineer who designed the thing, I can gaurantee you that it will say you need to use 4awg cabling or probably void the warranty. If you need further proof, look at the installation components section of a crutchfield magazine and read their reccomendations for amp kits with respect to wattage

Ok well I misunderstood you on this topic. Your definitly right about this.
Regarding grounding kits, I understand the lengths manufacturers go through to save money, but they're not going to leave something out if it affects proper funtioning of the vehicle just to save a buck ( Im sure this point could be argued though). If the vehicle
needs more ground circuits, it will be done. Wildman made the best point here about the whole issue, about old wires getting corroded and such.
And your completely misinterpreting my post, which is probably my fault. I still stand by my argument, if the car
NEEDS something to function properly, its going to be there. Yeah, they could have put bigger brakes on the b14, but it doesnt need it. The brakes it has are totally suitable for what the car does. Every car has its purpose, I think its obvious the b14 was made as an economy commuter car, not for going 100mph down the highway/track.
But since your an engineer in whatever field, I guess I'll have to take your word on this. Thats not sarcasm btw
