Default Battery relocation kits

Does anyone want one. I noticed alot of people doing cai's. It would be alot easier to install with the battery in the back. If I made some cheap kits all pre-cut wire with fittings and instructions would anyone be interested?

hopefully you wouldnt charge too much for them since you could piece your own kit together for about $25.00

I was thinking 2 gauge wires with all fitting, battery box, mounting kit, and instructions with pics. I dont know how spud made one for 25. Maybe its just the pieces I use. But the battery box and cable cost's atleast 25. Then the fittings. which are 2 for $3. I can make you a cheap kit out of cardboard and speaker wire :-). But I planned on using quality items. Battery box= atleast 15 new, cables atleast 20, fittings 5. So about $40 or $45 for the complete kit.

You must have one cheap walmart. Because even on line the prices are more. Just for the cheapest wiring kit I could fine that ia also on clearance at the time is $20. And thats juat an 8 gauge. I think the kit your talking about it more like 30-40

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=2606836

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=6225663

See I did my shopping at walmart for the last 3 of the ones I did. I Usually buy my battery box's for $20 because they are heavy duty and not flimsy or thin. I buy everything but the box from there. I use jumper cables not the kit. I can get one cable to do all the wire in half a set of cables. Which is $20 ($40 FOR THE SET). Then I use heavy duty crimp ring tips which run about 2 for $5. So My kit cost about 45-50 in the end. But I am not just using what works. I have done a bunch of them and found this one works the best. I want to put a safety shut off switches mounted on the boxs also.

I guess just get a kit together and figure a final cost. Drop me a PM when youve got it all together and well go from there!

Well I planned on buying the wire and fittings in bulk to lower the cost of the kit. I will go out today and check on it and get back to you.
