Considering the biggest wire in our cars is 4 Ga, kind of doesn't make sense to draw more than that off of just one battery and the stock alternator as the alternator to battery cable is only 4 Ga....hmmmm so you are drawing more power than your alternator can put back out in charging power. Doesn't make sense. If you actually NEED 2 Ga for your system then get a second battery and a high-output alternator too.
Oh and I drilled through where the clutch assembly normally goes through the firewall, but you obviously don't have that luxury. So try running it through the main wire harness grommet, and if not then you gotta drill. It's more fun to drill stuff anyways. Oh and one more thing, if you try to go through the grommet. Use the right tool! Get an abortion tool from a friend or if you already have one sweet. It's a screwdriver looking thing with two prongs on the end that are sharp and it's about a foot or so long. Goes right through, tape your wiring on there hella good, and pull back through....mmmmm it works so nice and has a funny name.
