Use a longer wire or extend the current one with a little ditribution block or wiring connectors....it's pretty simple man.

 

this thing is really stressing me out. I know I need an 8 gauge wire but I don't know what to use to connect them. Im wire challenged lol

 

Bump.... need help asap

Go to the electrical section of Home Depot and they have little blocks to connect wire. It's like a little metal block with holes on each end you stick the wire in (once you strip the rubber insulation off) and then a screw goes in on top to hold the wire tight and make a connection. Probably $3-4

 

is it true that when you splice wires, you lose power?

 

You don't really lose power but you do increase resistance.

 

so should I go with the 8 gauge wire or 4 gauge wire?

 

There was a thorough discussion about this on ephatch.com. You would need to be a member to view it.

 

4 or 0 gauge

 

0 gauge is overkill. I'd go 4

 

yea thats what I was thinking. Well Ima try this tonight and see what happens lol

 

Alright well heres a lil update on my relocator kit. I finally got it in just fine without having to splice or extend any wires. I will be sure to take some pics as soon as I get my camara. If you have any questions on how I did it then feel free to ask. Thanks everyone for your input
