Does anyone know the max awg size I can run under the trim pieces on the right side of the truck?

    Where you would find the stock electrical wiring running along the edge of the truck on the right side seems to be more room than the left. Anyway does anyone know the max size of wire I could put through this run? So far I know 2AWG fits.

    I have 1/0 on the drivers side so i would think you could do the same on the passenger as well

    I have true 0 gauge in there, tight but doable.

    The 1/0 AWG cables sitting in the garage, I'm sure it'll work.
    It'll be powering a rockville 50 farad capacitor. Trying to cheat the electrical gremlin drain that is a 3300W system without upgrading the alt or batteries, I know I'm going to fail but you do get deeper bass with a capacitor so it was a good purchase.
    You know I ran a 2awg under my truck once. That wire is pitch black now.

    I was able to get 4 gauge under the trim and still use the snaps. If you don't use the snaps you could get larger.

    I was able to run 2 gauge on the passenger side of the vehicle in the same spot. Hoping 0 gauge works.
