I am upgrading the wiring to my inverter from a 12ga to a 8GA as it turns out I should have at at least 10ga before and a 8ga amp kit was cheaper than a roll of wire at 10ga.
it is fused and I have the size of the wire determined already I am simply asking if the 12in of 12GA will be a problems since 12ga is good for upto 50amp in 4ft runs
not trying to be a jerk just needed to know if that would matter
If i've read the post correctly, you want to leave about 12inches of 12ga running from your battery to the box and then solder a 4inch length of 12ga from the box to your 8ga wire?
Technically the cable sizes should be alright but if its only 16inches of wire, why not just change them?
At least make the 8ga run straight to the box.. you won't have to join two different sizes together that way. Less connection = less possible problems.

the reason i want to leave them is that the relay that the 8ga wire will be feed from is in a aftermarket relay box that maxes out at 10ga so to keep it feed by the relay I have to leave the 12ga in placeand since at most it is 1ft of wire I was hoping it would be safe to leave it like it is
