yeah it matters... the further you are from your cap, the more energy is lost in the cable... Ohm's law, man. Get it as close as possible, ideally, within 12 to 14 inches of your amp...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
