[QUOTE="XanderMoser, post: 3064649, member: 574859"] Wire does not pull power. The amps pull power. The wire allows the power to be pulled. What you said is like saying that having a bigger wallet makes you more rich. Or like saying that putting on bigger clothes makes you fatter. Get it? The reason you use bigger wire is to allow more current to be drawn by the amps. If your wire was too small, it would burn (or your fuse would fry if you used the correct size) For now, yes. It is perfectly safe, there is just a higher chance of you blowing it if you crank it. And you don't need a capacitor. Very few people know how to properly implement a cap, and for the majority of applications it's a waste of money. How many amps is your alternator? If you experience dimming, you may need a new one.
