    how many amps does a car need to pull then? minus stereo. bet you could get it down to a 6mm really that'll take bout 34A maximum load.

    not too sure about the amps the 25mm i used is 230a deffo overkill.
    on cranking the engine it draws more power,
    i have a kill switch thats rated 100amp continuos and 500 amp for 5 sec

    for the hole i used one that my std alarm was at. only grommet i can think of is in the scuttle were the loom goes thru' maybe tight
