I have seen the previous thread discussing this, but my case is a little different. I am going to be running 0 guauge from the hood to the trunk of my car. I am also going to make my own battery box, but what wires am I connecting exactly? I bought a battery harness and the battery wires were cut off. I know there is a black and white cable that connects to the main fuse in my fuse box so I am assuming one of them as well as one wire to the starter? What about the alternator wire? Does the alternator wire connect to the batter, the starter or the main use block?
Harness is from a 97 celica st and the other electrical system should be from a 94 celica st |

on a different note im considering finding a new place for the battery back in the engine bay, i think for handling reasons, these cars are front heavy on purpose

Where the positive battery terminal used to be, splice your 0 gauge in there. Leave the alt/starter wires where they are. Run only the 0 gauge back to the trunk, then ground in the trunk as well. You'll want to add a new ground from the trans to the chassis. It sounds more complicated than it really is

Yea, if it was a simple relocation I could do it in 20 minutes.
The extra step I am having is I am using a new engine harness where the battery terminals have been cut . So what I need to know is WHAT cables run to the positive side of the battery terminal. Is it just the fuse block and starter cable? |
