Just 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>
