I bought a whole battery relocation kit from Summit for $50. It includes everything you need (with instructions). Good deal

for $20 got to a car system shop and get however much feet of 4gauge wire u need...just run a wire from where the positive line is under the hood( so basiclaly u got a battery clamp just laying there and put the 4g wire in it and tape it all around with electrical tape. then just run it to the ttrunk and get a ground for back there(where the spare tire goes it easiet) . but REMBER leave the ground to the tranny just put that on anythign metal so it wil still run. hope it was helpful

Yeah when I removed my stock negative bat cable it took away the ground essentially. It made by starter blow up and burned up part of my cluster. I guess the power had no where to go so it started blowing up things.

You have a good spot to hook up the ground, cause my radio gets bad signal and i'm pretty sure its cause i have bad ground... just my guess.
