Ill try and get some. My engine bay is a mess right now during the process of pulling the 2J out, but I will see what I can do.
All I did was used a high power Rockford amp kit, and ordered some extra cable. It worked perfect, but was a bit overkill on the price. But it all installed very clean, can handle more than enough power, and I can expand it later if needed.

I am going to ground mine in the trunk, all the battery relocation kits that I seen online, came with a short ground wire to ground in the trunk. But I do have a few questions 1st.
1. What do I do with the original ground wire and terminal that is in the engine bay?
2. Do I connect the one long positive from my battery box to both positives (the fuse box wire and the main) that are connected to the terminal or should I run a second positive for the fuse box and connect them at the terminal in the trunk? does it make any difference either way?
3. Can I use any car battery, as long as the CCA's are enough, or does it have to be a dry cell?
The kit I purchased, has an aluminum battery box, anchors, 15ft positive, 3ft ground and new terminals
Thanx guys

Guys ong nuking this. **** I have a relocate and a get swap so listen. Batterie in trunk will be over 100 cause you need a secure box and copper is exspensive as hell. Get 2x16' #2 gauge wire from eBay shipped its 38$ for the wire you will need. The. Get some damn insulated wire straps from any parts store (please don't use zip ties). Then run hot And ground to starter and whatnot. Then run a #6 wire from batt to the fuse box and your done fu k people really. The make sure you get a good box not some autozone pos like the guy that owned my last car which was zip tied closed I mean really do it right. And boom your done cost like maybe a tad over 100$ maybe.

This may seem like a simple task, but most of the people in the world don't know how to operate a screwdriver, much less install a proper battery relocation kit.
I mean, really, most of the information on a battery relocate are either shyte jDm-TyTe rig jobs, or on carbureted novas.
Last time I checked (which was admittedly, a while ago), there was very little information on doing a proper job on a modern(-ish) car.
why so hostile about a legitimate question?

I you don't know from what has been written so far the. You might be endangering your car even more. I know you guys wanna ask questions but all it is is cutting undoing the batt terminals adding a splice for the #2 wire to the trunk strap it down and put batt terminals on that put Bart in box and done. This is rediculus really people. Take your car to a shop and let someon Sauk knows what there doing do it if you can't understand simple instructions.
COME ON I KNOW SOMEONE WANTS TO CALL ME AN ******* SO LET'S HAVE IT.
