Krazykid122 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) My neighbor just gave me a 400 watt power inverter. and i mounted it under my back seat, and i dont want to have to flip the switch on and off from under the seat, i want to put one in my center console on the inside so i can turn it on and off whenever i want without going under the seat. it looks like 10 ga. that came with it, what do you guys think would be safe? because it will be hard running 2 pieces of 4ga. out of a toggle switch all the way back to the inverter so im trying to go as small as i can without losing power/causing problems.

CHEVY4X4BLAZER Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 True 8 awg should do fine. IF it originally had 10 awg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazykid122 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 how would i go about hooking up a toggle switch to it? do they make 8ga. quick disconnects?

Krazykid122 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 ive been doing some research, i cant find 8ga. quick disconnects to fit on the back of the toggle. alot of people are talking about using relays or silinoids.

CHEVY4X4BLAZER Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Figure out the amp draw of the inverter and use an appropriately rated relay. By using the relay you wont need 8 gauge wires for the toggle switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
