I'm moving my battery to the passenger side of the trunk. I've been looking for a while and havnt found a even semi-definite answer. I hear some people saying to use 4 gauge but that sounds to small and some people saying 2ot but that seems like over kill.
Will 2 gauge be sufficient for the power wire or do I need something bigger than that?

 

2 guage will be fine heres a link hope this helps

i agree with ryan, my cable is two gauge in my crx.

 

O OR 2 GAUGE.

 

Thanks guys. I'll be picking up the wire tomorrow.

 

i know a guy that used 8g amp power wire! 8 is wayy too small.. i used 2. no problems

I think my favorite part of this guys project was when he said that one of the reasons to do this is to get better "weight distribution" ROFL! WTF!

Question has already been answered....2 gauge or bigger depending on the size of your ****.

 

why is this so funny to you?

 

Doesn't some one who does this also have to worry about the battery venting and breathing that in? Do SEALED batteries not vent 'anything'? I thought I heard they still do vent a small amount over their useful life...

Anyone have good battery data?

 

You'd notice if the battery started venting.

 

finished it up yesterday. I like it.

 

Very cool man, I am gonna do the same thing when I have a few extra dollars to buy a distribution block and a fuse.

There are some very detailed write ups on how to do it correctly, you just have to google it.

 

i also used the stock tie down but my batterys about a foot or more forward hugging the fenderwell i think i used a 2g wire also from foss car audio 2 feet of black for ground and 8 feet of red for power grounded to the rear seat belt bolt

 

I'm gonna be using 4ga AWG wires as I've seen others run it themselves. Hopefully, mine runs well this way too, just gotta get my fuse/holder + distribution block to test it. So I'll be sure to post back if it works or not, ha

Also note, for those on a budget, if you got jumper cables you can get by with them. Just cut before the clamps & you got yourself some wires for your battery relocation setup! They're usually 2ga but most even come in 4ga!! So if anyones thinking about doing this, give it a try! Just a thought for those on a budget that have (extra or not) jumper cables laying around
