If you want to rate it lower, I'd run the proper cable but downgrade the fuses and see how long they last, as you say probably OK. | |

i think 40AMPs the most it will draw, e.g. if i opened Both windows and the sunroof at same time, but the circuit will only be operated for a few seconds and i will hardly ever use "Everything" at the same time! so thats why i thought i would get away with using a 30AMP wire for the live feed??? | |

Best earth is usually the one closest to the thing you're earthing so long as its on the main body of the car (ie. not in the door for the windows). | |

Not really, any tight connection wont allow muck to get there. | |

Live and ground wires should be the same thickness. | |
