Because it is closest to the voltage source.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Closer because it's on the return path?

Voltage has a higher potential on the positive terminal, if you cut off the highest potential then you are left with ground (most of the time 0 volts) and a floating node with the voltage of whatever air is.

With electrons flowing from - to + why then would power leads fused on the positive run?

Because it is closest to the voltage source.

These were the kind of questions I was hoping would get answered.

"Voltage has a higher potential on the positive terminal, if you cut off the highest potential then you are left with ground (most of the time 0 volts) and a floating node with the voltage of whatever air is."

If cueernt is Neg to pos. Why is does the POS have the highest potential?

Because electrons have a negative charge.

This is where it gets complicated explaining the different philosophies of electricity.

You have the Benjamin Franklin way which is using current.

Current flows from positive to negative. Thinking along the lines of positive being a higher number, but was later to be found out to be wrong.

Then you have the chemical/physics philosophy.

This method uses electron flow. Electron flow is the literal path of the electrons moving through the circuit.

The most common way that I have experienced electrical engineers use is the Benjamin Franklin method updated with modern findings.

Edit: To clearly state definitions.

Current will always be positive to negative.

Electron flow will always be negative to positive.

For anyone that wants to better understand electricity, should be every single person on this forum if you want to be the one plugging in that amp.

These are maybe the best books I've seen for introducing the very basics of electricity. These also encompass a little more than about two semesters of my electrical engineering degree without the bullshit it is having to go through the acedemic system.

You will need to read the DC electronics book before the AC book, because if you don't understand DC you will not understand AC.

If i had to guess, which i totally am doing here

The + has the higher potential because it is just that, potential energy where as the ground exists throughout the vehicle and is trying to feed the current/complete the circuit to/with the opposite charge.

Not a clue if i'm right with thinking like that though. :unknw:

Electron Theory states that current flows from negative to positive.

Conventional Theory states that current flows from positive to negative.

It matters not where the fuse is placed within the circuit, as long as it's within the circuit. Now having said that, consider that we typically fuse runs from the battery positive terminal within a reasonable distance from the battery. Why? Simple - to protect the battery from a dead short. If we put the fuse on the ground lead of the amplifier in the trunk, the amplifier still has the same protection but the battery has none. Fusing near the battery protects both with a single fuse.

So you can fuse either side of the amp, and it will give equal protection to the amp?

Correct. Chapter 1 of my book Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems covers Ohm's Law and Kirchoff's Law in-depth. Learn these Laws! Being a car audio die-hard and not understanding these laws is kind of like building a house first and then the foundation second.
