[QUOTE="AndrewH05, post: 8066092, member: 652892"] If it's pure copper AKA OFC 8 gauge wire, it *should* be okay up to 50 amps, I think you'll be okay, you'd have to be running full tilt for awhile to even get close to the 41 amps, however, I will say that's it's best to run to largest cable you can afford because you never know when you're going to upgrade. I haven't looked at the Scosche wire you're referring to because they make varying sizes and different qualities in those sizes. What is the fuse by the battery rated for? If you can run another 8 gauge line or even better take out the current one and install a 4 gauge run to a distribution block down to 2 8 gauge runs that'd be better. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
