[QUOTE="Streetz, post: 5124636, member: 602994"] I had to rewire my car, originally I had it going through the door jam because I didn't want to bother with the firewall. Everytime I open and closed the door in would pinch the cable and it started to frey(sp?). So I rewired it correctly, going through the firewall to the trunk. The positive cable would not reach to my trunk. I had a second wiring kit laying around so what I did is I cut it and used the second fuse holder to extend the connection so it would reach. My question is, is having 2 fuses on the positive cable harmful? Both sets of cable are 4 gauge. I realise there is probably loss of power, but is it bad? Should I find a longer single wire and rerun that instead? I will be getting a new car spring of 09 so I guess you can call this a temporary solution until then, but still wanted input on it. Thanks.
