[QUOTE="req, post: 1230262, member: 555713"] YES! NEVER EVER EVER EVER cut your existing wires off unless you really, truly know what you are doing. adding to what you got is absolutly perfect!!! bolt cutters for cutting the 0awg or larger wire. there are larger cutters, but 12" should be large enough. the larger, the eaiser they cut stuff.
