You dont need big wire to solenoids/relays for the switch. From the batt to the solenoid or solenoid to starter you want big wire like 4 gauge, but just from power to the solenoid you can run 20 if you want. All the power from the switch to the solenoid is doing is telling the solenoid to pass electricity through it and it doesnt take much amperage to do that.
