lol it was registered in this country in 2003 from japan or honk kong or some where far away and it still had all the original chassis paint on it so thought i might help it a bit by painting it but after wire brushing the mud dirt and any thing else that was on it the back end was painted enough i'm sure the front will cope with a mud paint

I thought about 6, but 6 x 8" wont fit, plus they are 130 watters, so thats potentially nearly 40 amps I need to deliver through the roof, which suggests pretty thick cables to avoid significant volts drop across that 8-10ft of cable.

Closer to 45A, isn't it?

45a?

Not with a Safari snorkel, no. There's a special recess in the snorkel to avoid the aerial.

Type 'Landcruiser springs' into the search box.

That's cartloads. You're running under 30A of load. That'll be roughly 6mm
cable, then?
