I'm going to be installing a modified NAPA air compressor in the trunk of my TJ and was wondering if anyone could help me out with my plan for my power wires.
As of now, I plan to run 6 gauge AWG with Anderson connectors - I'm thinking this should be around 12 feet from the trunk to the battery. The compressor will push out about 90 amps and after looking at some charts, I'm not sure if I should go down to 4 gauge cable.
If anyone has done something similar, would you recommend using 4 or 6 gauge cable and what amp fuse should I install?
Update: I'm now leaning towards 4 gauge AWG with an 120 amp fuse - Does that sound like it should be good?
