How Thin Is A 8 Gauge Cable?

how thin is a 8 gauge cable?

[eaglescorpio1]

what do you mean? the wire, including the jacket, or the wire itself, inside the jacket. Just cause the cable says 8 gauge does not mean it has the same strand count as the more mid to high end cable. That is what really counts, not how bit the entire cable plus jacket is, but the strand count, from what I understand.

i would say yes go ahead and do it if you think you can do it.

8 ga should be fine as long as its the same size or thicker than stock.
