Default Dead center fairing install.

I got most of the components I need to install thanks to the advice from GANN! I have some silly questions, do I need to use marine grade speaker wire? And what gauge should I use if I'm bridging the amp? Going to run 8 gauge wire for the amp with a Anderson quick disconnect. Also should I pull the tank and run the wires down the frame? Didn't know if heat would be an issue. Here's what I'm going to run.Dead center fairing install.-photo53.jpg

Good quality 16ga for speaker wire.
Yes, pull the tank and secure the power and ground wires. There should be other wires running along there also.
Place a 35amp fuse at the battery.

I have a friend that wants to upgrade her DC Fairing audio. If you could post some pics of your progress that would be great.
