T6.1 Inverter upgrade with 4awg wire

[akprincehbd]

Hello,
I have T6.1 ocean, I can see the 300W inverter is under Driver seat (I'm LHD model), I want to upgrade it to 1200W victron inverter (I have 628AH lithium batt), so I need to run a 4/6 awg wire from passenger seat leisure batt terminal to driver seat where the new 1200W inverter will be installed. It should be pulling 600W roughly from each battery.

I see there is hole under both seat where the cable are coming out from the floor, how can I wire the thick cable from one side to the other underneath the floor?

Thanks,
Yuan

The carpet between the 2 front seats has a thick fibrous underlay with a channel from seat to seat for the factory wiring loom. That's why it feels spongy when standing on it.

Thanks for the info, so you mean I should remove the 2 seat base, so that I can lift the carpet a bit loose from the ground, then I need to push the wire from the center wire hole from one to the other?

But I doubt I can do it as the hole is quite tight and I have never done it before to this point, might be too much of friction to push the wire from one to the other chair?

Probably easier to push a blunt rod through and attach wire to it to pull wire through. You only need the one +tve wire. There is a chassis earth stud under each seat.

You mean there is a wiring channel directly between the 2 holes under the 2 L/R seats ye?
Hole I mean is where the starter batt+ coming out from the floor and the inverter cable goes into the floor hole.

Can't confirm on the T6.1 but on the T5/6 there is. That's why the carpet is softer between the 2 cabin seats, thicker underlay to protect the wiring loom.
