    ok so I have an electrical question: I have 10ga wire from my battery to my fuse panel to power my lights/cutouts/PA and CB, I had to add another 10ga wire because it was popping fuses, would going to one 8ga or 6ga be enough for just one wire? I would like to reduce the amount of wires I have going thru my firewall..

    thats thick stuff! I dont need it that thick. im slowly converting everything to LEDs so they dont draw nearly anything. 1/0 is good for those who have 15 12in subs not a couple lights and a CB....
