I ran mine under the car and up into the interior through the secondary o2 sensor area. I ran it into the car and along the door sill and under the rear seats and into the trunk. I used 1/0 gauge wire for mine with a yellow top which is probably way over kill. I used remote jumper terminals to distribute the lines.

Any other brands for batteries you guys recommend. Was reading up and some people say since Optima got bought out they're batteries aren't as great. Anyone try Odyssey's in the full size?

some very creative ways to relocate the batter in here. to me the easiest way is to run it like others have said, through the firewall and under the carpet. Wont be able to see it, and provides easy access. the red tops are great batteries, but there are plenty of choices out there. all depends on how much you want to spend, size, weight etc. also temps you will be driving in.

the idea of running it under the car is something I never considered simply because of road debris and salt...but hey if it works then it works!

Look into BRAILE. Race quality batteries, very reliable!

Bump, forgot to ask does anyone have a Buschur or Sparktech Cop system installed w/relocation? Wondering where you mounted it since mine is w/the mini battery. Let's see some pics.
