Ive considered this for a while my self, and there shouldnt be a problem
in it at all. I did it in my other truck and it worked just fine. On thing
to keep in mind, the bigger the wire the better to prevent voltage drops.
I plan on using "O" gauge (single aught) wire, its big, but its needed
when you have so much distance for the voltage to travel.
You could use 4 gauge, but that is the smallest I would go, 2 gauge or
single aught ("0") would be the best in my opinion.
