If the power wire that goes from the battery to the amp is shorter would that be better, or will it make a differance?

the longer the wire, the higher the resistance, and the more energy you lose to heat in the wire.
also the longer the wire, the larger it has to be to carry the same amount of current.

more info on wire sizing based on distance and current draw
