But the stock wiring only runs 18-24". When you run longer distances, you need to "up" the gauge of the cable. 4Ga may work, but I wouldn't go any smaller than that!
True about the feet part! haha I would never go smaller then 4.
But i used to be in car audio stuff and i have ran roughly 1000 watts rms amps with only 4 gauge wire which = roughly 80 amps at 12 volts. I would never think an engine would run over 80 amps current and for extend periods of time. 4 gauge has roughly .00029 resistance per foot. so roughly 20' =s .0058 resistance, shouldnt ever notice that.
With all this 4 gauge should work, unless the engine load is hella lot more then i think.
