Selecting the power and ground wire size is
an important part of the amplifiers performance and safety. Thicker wire
delivers more current when needed.
In order to select the proper
gauge wire you will need to determine the maximum current draw of all
amplifiers and processors that you will connect with this wire.
You will also
need determine length of wire needed to connect from the battery to
the location you mount your amplifiers.
