Relocating battery to hatch.., wiring? Options

[mark_426]

Hey guys

those of you who have relocated the battery to the hatch - how did you do it?

Did you run two leads back to the hatch, basically extending the old leads? Or did you just ground it in the back somewhere?

What gauge wire did you use?

Any suggestions on where/how to hide wires, or run them through the firewall?

thanks

When Manny and I relocated his battery I think they were 4 gauge wires. He had used this to secure the battery to the trunk


He had run the pos and neg to the front of the car and I had also grounded the battery to a secure location behind the back seat bracket (the U bracket in the pic)

also there is an inline fuse block comming off the battery for safety (between the blue wires).

I ran the wires behind of the hatch plastics, the driver's side rear speaker plastics (pictured before I hid/snaked them better),


and under the door sill/carpet to behind the fuse box and through the firewall to the bay.

you can see the "power" box I hooked them to here, top of the pic with the blue and silver wires going to it.


the stock + battery terminal was fitted to the box and the - was grounded to the same spot it was before with new clean 4 gauge wire.

vroom vroom, no probs
