The easiest way to do it is to get a Gel, or dry battery and a battery box for the trunk and run 0 or 00 gauge wires under the car. Make sure that you route the wires carefully and make good connections.

Or you can do what I did.

Its not easy and requires the use of a good drill and some elbow grease but its better than running wires under thre carpet or under the car.

I can get you a how-to, just give me some time to get it together. You can't do mine in a few hours like most of these other relocations, its going to take you at least 6 hours to do it.

I believe he ran it through the frame rails, if I rember right from an earlier post. It is not needed to do it that way, but it is the most perfesional and best looking in my opinion. It also take a while to do it the right way.

Yes, I ran it through the rocker panels. Took about 6 hours to run the ground wire and positive cable through it.
