[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5343119, member: 6230"] thats because of voltage drop and not necessarily because of a huge increase in power or "amps". at less than 3 amps per head unit 14 or 16 ga conductor is certainly enough to handle the amperage but the voltage drop at 3 amps at 20 feet is the same as a dead battery at 12v even if you start out at a fully charged 12.7v for lead acid and borderline for a 13v AGM. the voltage drop with 10 ga conductor would be .08 volts or 12.62v at 20ft. these units will start acting funny or shut down when they get close to their low voltage limit and with the wrong size conductor you can create that problem even with a fully charged battery.
