Basically. U need to run your existing positive back to the trunk. You can run it threw the firewall on the drivwr side then run it under the door jams and plastic trim to the trunk. Hook up battery. Then you need to find a solid piece of metal on the body. Grind it down to bare metal no paint. and bolt your ground very tightly. That should do the trick. The rest is up to you how you want it. I have an extra battery in my trunk for my system running in sync with my normal battery. Same concept

edit: on chris's ex. i noticed he had extra wires running to the positive on the battery. if you also have those, you need to run them back.

and as for a mount u can make it however you want, relocate to where you want, ground it to what you want. but just make sure it has a good contact, on BARE metal, NO PAINT!. its pretty simple if you know how to cut wire lol.

if you got the guts try it yourself. if not, hopefully this will help you determine what is a fair price to pay. i personally wouldnt pay more than $200. they supply the wiring. the 0 gauge is about $5 a foot. and at most you need 10 feet.

Sorry josh itd take more than 10ft lol to do it all hidden anyways.... Best way is find a power block splitter for 0g wire(normally audio places have them) undo and strip all battery positive wires and bolt them into the spitter, hook up some 0g to that splitter(make sure its mounted) then run thru firewall (mines pass side) run it under carpet under doorjams and into ur trunk, attach to battery wherever its mounted and hood ground up last (strut tower bolts work well, rear seat belt bolts work well) then ur done kablam! Relocated!

you should get a box for it to, if you plan on running it at a track. most won't let you run without one.

i have a battery in my trunk. i dont think i used much more than 10foot. threw firewall, under carpet and door sills.

but anyway. use 0 gauge. and mine is ground to the metal bar that goes behind the back seat. just ground down. tapped a screw and bolted it down
