It's up to you it will work
Ahh, I get it. Big wire to post on firewall, small wire to ground buss. I now have a related question. My main buss only carries about 20 amps, and would only need a wire about 5 feet long (at most). Under these conditions I think 10 awg is ok, right?
Don't get too cheap or stingy with wire gauge, this is your primary electrical distribution wiring.
5 feet of: #6 is 0.40 lb, #8 is 0.25 lbs, #10 is 0.16 lbs.
5 feet @ 20 amps voltage drop: 0.04, 0.06 and 0.10 volts respectively for #6, #8 and #10.
5 feet or less? Yea I agree it will be less. From center of floor where a typical RV-4 battery is, to anywhere on the firewall on a RV-4 is not far, might be 3 feet? (3 ft makes the weights above 40% less, so #6 is only 0.24 lbs or 3.8 oz's, the #8 is 0.10 lbs or less than 2 oz's. No need to save wire here.)
Its up to you. Ground is as basic (and important) as it gets; you don't want to save the weight here in my opinion. You are looking at saving may be 2 oz's between #6 and #10. Go for the lower voltage drop. I like a good low resistance ground, but #10 will work, but larger dia wires give less voltage drop and heat. Lowering voltage drop is goodness.
Since this feeds all circuits, suggest at least #8 or #6, my personal recommendation, even at 20 amps. They do make crimp terminals in the #6 and #8 size by the way. #6 wire dia (stranded wire itself no installation) is about 0.186 in max (3/16"), add a little insulation , its not that big around. The less voltage drop the better. Now this ignores the metal firewall. However that is the assumption. In engineering you often ignore something that helps you, and size the main path for the full load, not counting on the helper.
On a related note, the reason you hear noise in the audio, is usually on the ground side, being affected by small voltage differences in the ground circuits. This is why a CENTRAL GROUND block for the panel is a nice thing. Its 1/2 the battle of avoiding noise. This really has nothing to do with this main ground wire, but it just shows that minimizing voltage drop is important. Also why not give your central ground tab block a GOOD solid ground. Since this one ground wire affects all circuits, its a good idea to not compromise on size it. Now #10 or #6 will not affect noise but total voltage drop. You're also getting voltage loss on the POS side of the individual circuits; long runs are affected more of course, and you don't want to add to the total voltage drop on the ground side, more than necessary.
