Avery Howell Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 Is 22 AWG too small for running power from a switch to a relay? 2012 Jeep Wrangler 3.6 W/ 6 Speed Build Log 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 6.2 Build Log YouTube

Karkov Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 I think 22 would be fine but that is ONLY my opinion. I use 16 CCA and have even used 18 which is plenty fine. I over size wire for this application for no reason really. When I have lots of wires hooked up to a relay bank I might power it with a 14 OFC but that's just me. 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

SnowDrifter Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 For just a relay turn-on, that's fine. For the power going to the relay, I wouldn't. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
