[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8518389, member: 614752"] 4 Gauge should be fine. Bear in mind all the "safety" charts are figuring on you using far fewer strands than the sort of wire we're using, and anybody in the business of selling wire is trying to up-sell you by telling you you need something huge. For practical purposes if you're not competing you don't need to overkill on power wire. That said, it's never a bad investment. I've been using the same 1/0 gauge for about 15 years now that has followed me through 4 or 5 vehicles. [/QUOTE]
