[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7663854, member: 629234"] the 2nd run 0f 8awg would be fine, actually. asthetics would be the reason i would change that. here's the benefits: 1: 2 runs of 60a=120a 2: cable sizes by about a factor of 4 numbers doubling iirc, or about 25% per single digit, either way, in this case, it would have close to the same circular mills as a single run of 2awg. 3: install. 2 runs of skinny 8awg is easier to pass through grommets and under carpet/trim effectively. cons: someone may "read a book by the cover" and view it as cheap. and may need an extra connector/fuse holder. good deal on that 4awg though, and it will do what you want.
