    Relocating my Battery To the Boot

    Ok im seriously looking into this for reasons relating having more room for my soon to be upgraded air intake.

    Ive been pondering the idea since i've already ran 1 - 2 gauge cable from the front to the back, that's was easy, so im thinking why not run a second one? or can I run the battery in the boot with only one cable for positive and ground the battery to the car?

    or do i need to clamp my cables to both the + & - on the car and run them into the boot?

    anyone done this before?

    advice needed thanks

    I ran 4 gauge + to the rear and grounded it in the trunk. I bought a kit with the tray and all. It works fine and i ran seperate ground and power lines off the side terminals of my optima batter to my power block to my amps. I will have pics soon or if i can find time to finish my install of the stereo setup.

    that's kinda what I had in mind,

    So what happens with the negative cable in the front?

    Can i ground my amps to the same point the battery is grounded?

    as long as the battery or amp is grounded to a metal part of the car, it should be good, but sometimes paint gets in the way, so it can help to have a bare metal spot
