"Skin effect is for AC voltages or frequency based signal tranfer. NOT DC POWER
and brands of wire makes a HUGE difference also."
interesting, ive always been told that the skin applies to D/C as well. any good links to help me learn the "right" way? as for manufacturers, ive used them all, plus random welding wire and the like, with no noticable difference both in voltage drop or audible output (the biggest difference was a .1v drop switching from home depot welding wire to monster cable)
however..im still sticking to my thought that the 8 AWG is fine. there will be a few lost watts, but it will not be audible and as long as the wire is fused correctly it will be safe.
