If you do splice the 10 gauge wire, make sure it’s a damn good splice!
It is the main electrical feed for the entire vehicle and carries the entire load of the alternator to charge the battery.
By nature, it’s very long, as it runs from the engine up to the firewall, through the dash, back out the firewall into the battery. So has potentially extra resistance. Adding a splice adds more potential resistance.
If you ever get an alternator that puts out more than it’s advertised amperage, or goes kerfunked an Kerfuffled anytime soon, you could have a full meltdown of the harness.
