NEC recommends 8 gauge for that load.now since yall refuse to use this standard im going to find a few other graphs and link them..this one is @ 120 volts. which we know is DOUBLE the voltage in this situation so the wires ampicity will be sightly less.<a href="http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/attachments/audio-alarms/62425d1235669252-wire-gauge-ampacity-table-wiringdiagram.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/attachments/audio-alarms/62425d1235669252-wire-gauge-ampacity-table-wiringdiagram.jpg</a><a href="http://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.M1135bc88cd3e8f466170b3c3e23acafaH0&amp;pid=15.1" target="_blank">http://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.M1135bc88cd3e8f466170b3c3e23acafaH0&amp;pid=15.1</a><a href="http://www.hitmanhotrods.com/en/admin/sources/editor/assets/chartsGraphs/wire_sizing_chart2_titled_filled.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.hitmanhotrods.com/en/admin/sources/editor/assets/chartsGraphs/wire_sizing_chart2_titled_filled.jpg</a>like i sadi you choose the wire that can handle the maxinum current in the circuit. not the average circuit.thank fully none of you guys are electricans becasue **** would be burning up.</blockquote>
