[QUOTE="InfinitePeace, post: 4088786, member: 585723"] Which makes perfect sense except for the fact that the stock wire goes through the fuse box and is what powers all the components in the car, correct? By your logic if 98% of all current is going through the new wire and not anywhere else, than the components in the car wouldnt get powered? It would seem to me that with the stock wiring being the only path to the fuse box and that constant demand being there with the components in the car needing power, it would still proportionally divy the draw appropriately. Now if there was just 2 wires going directly there on the exact same path, one 8awg and one 4awg, what you just said makes perfect sense. But that can't be the case here, otherwise the rest of the car would be without power, I just think that the majority of the draw with respect to the wire size will flow through the larger wire, yes, but with a demand coming from whatever is hooked up to the smaller wire, I have to believe there will still be current flowing through it... surely more than 2% of the total draw.
