When doing mods like this be very careful to make sure you're using a wire gauge that can handle the maximum amp draw that your inverter/amp/whatever will pull, plus a little extra for safety. Also be sure to use a fuse that is big enough to handle that draw, but smaller than what your wiring can handle.

Failing to follow these guidelines is likely to leave you standing on the side of the road watching the pretty lights on the firetrucks.

With that said, mod away!!

Good to know, thanks for that.

For the power wire I matched the gauge but for the really thin wires that I needed to extended I used a slightly thicker gauge, I believe it was 24. I left the fuse the same so I am good.

So when I take my inverter apart to run some wires, where am I running them to?
Battery?

You have to cut the plug off that would connect to the power port. There are 2 wires, one is the ground the other is the power. I grounded it to the body and extended the power wire to a power distribution block under my seat. That block has a thicker gauge main feed that runs to the battery. That is just how I did it.
