What wire should I use

[garry247]

I'm going to re do the wire from zig, stereo, amp, solar a new under seat fuse box then to battery.

What wire should I use?

I currently have single core from twin and earth I had at home when I did some sockets.

Cheers,

Garry.

You need to check the current drop off is okay with the size of cable you're wanting to use. There's a good guide and a handy calculator here:

I've just been doing some wiring for the rear fog lights on our van in 1.5mm2. I did think about using domestic single core, but I wasn't sure how it would perform in high temperature situations e.g. in the engine bay, near the exhaust, so I ended up getting some Tri-Rated cable like this instead:

You aren't using household solid wire are you - that isn't suitable as it soon work hardens and fatigues especially at terminals due to vibration. Flexible wires only.

Looks like I'll be changing it

Will look to get the 2.5m Purple from the link above
