my engine bay doesnt really have enough space for some reason even though i have a stock(ish) 5s. so im looking to relocate my battery to the trunk.


two things...the previous owner(s) really kept effin the terminals so the wire which connects to my positive terminal, is really short so thats causing my battery be closer to the engine and hence taking more space. so either i relocate my battery or just extend those wires.


so the question is:
1. how to relocate a battery for a noob?
2. how to extend those wires without buying a new harness?



i would obviously choose the easier/cheaper option so please help.
thank you in advance

ok i think i somewhat understand the concept.

i was just thinking, can i just use the wires i have for my subwoofers, when i got them installed, theres a red wire going from the battery to the trunk, but im not sure if its thick enough or is 'enough gauge'


it was somewhat a basic setup so maybe u can guess what kind of wires are ussually used?


and instead of me soldering them or something another connection,

why not just get a 4 gauge wire, run it from the trunk to the hood, one end of the wire have a terminal for the battery, and other have a terminal like this

and then when im connecting the thing under the hood, just put it under the bolt of my old battery terminal which i currently have rite now, some what like my sub setup?


will that work?



something like this
