for laughs, I stopped by a car install place here, and asked them for a quote on
running the battery power with hot and gnd from the battery, on #8 into the
passenger compartment. He tries to argue that he can pick up hot and
ground under the dash, but I insist that I want it done this way.. They quote
$100 for labor and 3 hours to do the job, then the guy tells me that he'll just
double up #16 wire. (!!!) If I want real #8, I had to buy two amp
kits for another $130.<BR>They said it's too expensive to stock wire by the
foot. (for WHO?) <BR><BR>I shudder to think what the job would have
looked like.<BR>
