Ok so I relocated my Battery to my trunk. I grounded the battery negative to the trunk frame. Well the problem is, im now having starting issues. It sounds like when i dont have enough juice to start the engine. Now if i dont run the car at least once a day, the battery dies. WTF is the problem, can anyone offer some advice?

agreed with with presure i havent done this with the batt but i have done it to amps and it sounds like its not getting proper ground........if u have a volt gauge hooked up in ur car i would check it to see if ur alt. is even getting contact to ur batt.......also be sure u are not using any thing smaller then 4 gauge wire.......and by smaller i mean skinner such as 6gauge or 8gauge.......4 gauge down to 1 gauge will work 1 being the best 4 being the limit......and be sure u have a safty batt disconect....
