Hi gang, My Grandfather always said there is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people who wont ask a question and then pretend to know thw answer. So, in that spirit I am looking for clarification on some wiring lingo. One day I'll be a veteran and toss around the lingo like it's second nature. I am going to make some assumptions, but feel free to correct me if I am inaccurate. The wire that runs from the power pack called the Power Bus. The wire that drops from the rail to the Power Bus is called the Feeders. What gauge wire is recommended for the Power Bus and the Feeders respectively? I have read many a discussion from here which I found in a search and the debate was mostly stranded vs solid. I'd rather know about gauge. Your help is appreciated. Trevor
