2 aught or/vs. 4ga. ...yea
So, the place I work at is a semi parts and mechanic shop. Besides airbags and perty sweet mirrors and lighting the only other thing I've found useful for the fit is the wiring that's used. The 2 main cables used that ae umm one strand/single cables are 2 aught and 4ga. wiring. Next is I think 6/14 and I think there's just single 12-18ga. wire.
Anyways, I'm trying to decide what to run, 4ga. or 2 aught for one...maybe 2 amps later down the road for a system that'll be proly 800w max. From what others have done the fits alt. and battery seem to be capable of this power. I was perty much unlimited with my lesabre when it came to power and without a cap With the fit though, I'm thinking of using a cap also. But yea, will the difference between the 2 cables make a difference in power that'll be able to go through really cause I don't think it will really for that low of power.. IF you guys suggest/would opt for the 2aught, would it even fit in the side panels so I could run it back to the hatch area lol. ? It's umm about 5/8" wide I think or just a tad larger. The 4ga, I know would work but the 2/0 is a lil iffy it seems.
edit: 2/0 is $3.9x/ft
4ga. is umm $1.69/ft I think.
prices don't bother me, just be nice to save about $40 if it'd be fine :P
