BATTERY WIRE SIZE
WHAT SIZE WIRE SHOULD BE USED FROM TRUNK TO ALTERNATOR?

I used a 10 ga. wire on mine.
TS1955 |
I ran 8 gauge on mine, but 10 would be a minimum I would think.

8-10 K&R suggest 10 on the wiring kits that come with them. I've always used 10 anyways without issues.

SOLID---OR--STRANDED???

Stranded is fine
Ive used Welding Wire with success for years now. Not alternator though on my ride. |
I ran #8 stranded on my old mustang but have heard arguments both ways 8)

How many amps does the trunk draw ?
Any constant HEAVY loads from the trunk or are they light and periodic loads ? Are you running an On/Off switch between the trunk and battery ? If so, does that switch have an indicator light and what color ? Blue is best. |
