OK, well for my OBA compressor I am planning on running 6 AWG wire from the batt to the back of the truck. Unfortunately, this means I need a lot of it. I have a few questions:
1. For my aux fuse block I used 4 AWG marine grade cable, while it is great, it is very stiff, and expensive. Is there a better solution for my compressor project? Something more flexible, or cheaper? Would welding cable (more flexible) or audio cable work? Where is a good place to get it cheap?
2. With my winch, I ran power and ground all the way to the battery. For the compressor, do I need to run the ground all the way back to the batt as well, or can I ground it on chassis? This will save me 20ish ft of 6awg wire if I don’t need to?
THANKS!
