is there a point of diminishing return in ground wire strand count?

im looking at these ground wires here :
http://www.sounddomain.com/shoplist~...~t~Power+Wires

the 8 guage is 665 strands
the 4 guage is 1672 strands
and the 1/0 gauge is 4256 strands

now as i understand the lower the gauge the thicker the wire and the harder it is to bend it.. is 4gauge really hard to bend? and would there be very little difference between lets say 8 and 4 gauge?

you do not need 4 guage ground wires. 8 or 10 will work fine.

Yes there is a bit of difference in how flexible they are but it isn't that great.

ok you seem to know this stuf.. so im lookin at terminals now then..
http://www.sounddomain.com/shoplist~...Wire+Terminals
how come their so expensive? 7.95 for a pair?? for 8 gauge gold plated..

also im wondering.. when i make the connections with the terminals and stuff i will clean the frame part of the connection and should i also get like liquid tape or something to cover the connection up so no dust and such can go and start clogging the connection up?
