Question:

What does power/ground cable wire mean?

I need to get some wire to hook my capacitor to my amp and every wire I see says that it's power/ground cable wire. Does this mean it's power wire? Or ground wire? Or does it mean you can use it for both?

Answer:

I think it means you can use it for both, but i'm not sure
to hookup a capacitor you need both power and ground wire, make sure the cables are thick before you put your power cable to the amp it needs to go to + positive side of capacitor and then one cable from the same side to + of amp and for the - negative side you just ground it to the body
Wire can carry current. It is your responsibility to select wire that will safely handle the voltage and current expected. Color conventions specify green for ground wires. You can use any color but green for power connections. Many cables have more than one wire in them, and may include a ground wire. Grandpa
you can use it for both same stuff
