    Now I gotta re think my whole process. LOL That's why I like this site.

    So what is the verdict, 12 ga wires...twisted, 5 amp fuse close to the battery and steer clear of the fuse panel? Correct?
    The instillation guide says 18 ga wire. The power wires are pretty small.
    Smile, it kills time between disasters!

    When it comes to power wires .... bigger is better and allows for bigger units or more units later without redoing it.....Anybody with experience with these things is going to tell you to go bigger .... Well almost everybody.
