Final thoughts: Mount in the engine bay, or prepare to work for it.

So that’s a big beefy ARB, but what about a smaller portable? Are those pretty amp hungry? Sorry I’m decently savvy with electrical stuff, but the technical aspects of it - amp draw, understanding when you’ll need higher gauge wire, what gauge you’ll need, etc - are a bit beyond my understanding. I figured if a compressor has 10 awg wire on its leads, you could extend that ~10 feet with the same gauge wire.
