hey guys i was wondering if one of ya' could help me here:i've got a brand new 1500watt power inverter that i bought last year and it's been sitting in my room ever since and i now want to install it in my Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd. some time this week. the question i have is this-the power inverter has to be connected directly to the battery because of the draw on power so they included a 6gauge power and 6gauge ground but they are both only 26inches long.with that,i would have to mount the damn thing under the hood and as far as i know and have read on the power/packaging,it isn't waterproof(rain).

so i am wondering,because i'd like to mount this power inverter in the back of my Jeep near the
back-door so i will need to purchase at leat 14to16feet of power and 14to16feet of ground but i am not sure if that long a stretch of 6gauge will be good enough to carry the power should i ever need 1000 or 1500watts.currently i only use my 400watt power inverter to charge my phone,run my CB,run my laptop, and other smaller devices like those.but i'd like to be capable of providing 1000to1500watts at any time

should i get 14to16feet of 4gauge or even 2gauge(if they make 2gauge).i don't want to be popping fuses all the time because my power/ground are too weak.
what's cool about this power inverter is that it's got a 16ft. long power ooutlet that i mount on my dashboard or wherever i'd like.it's also got a remote switch on it.i just leave the power button that is on the inverter in the "On" position and i can turn it on and off from the switch on the side of the power outlet.

so should i go with a larger than 6gauge power/ground wires or will 6gauge carry that kind of power?

thanks in advance for any information or advice-Scott/Gravy-626
