Well thats if you dont want a CAI. If you do, you can also remove the washer fluid and put on that side too. I just like having space... thats all lol and i ditched my CAI after i almost hydrolocked

Well if it follows the same principles as speaker cable, the further you have to travel the bigger gauge you want to go with. Over the longer distance you will lose more energy from heat transfer, etc.. You can counteract that by going with something thicker. Of course quality of the cables plays a major role too; the conductivity of the material.
I'm sure it will work fine. The battery only has to start the car. If you are running a lot of stereo equipment off this battery and going to a deep cycle red top optima you may want to rethink your plans and get advice from an installer if you know one.

yes thats a good idea. optima yellow ftw. i think 1 battery is good enough.
Finally, a day off where I can post from home, and with all of my normal tools handy. Some more useful than others.
Like daylight. And a 5Mpx camera.
I promised pics, and here they are;
A possible route into the trunk.
Where it leads, under the car...
A pre-existing wire carrier that I didn't notice until now.
Wire carrier from the front, it's on the driver-side.

The ground going to the engine block.

The power distribution block came in as I was updating my SRI thread.
Looks like a toy on the outside, but it's solid and of high-quality materials on the inside.

That "wire carrier" is not carrying wires. Those are the cars fuel lines.

Read the rules
I think you have good intentions, but (no offense) it sounds like there's a lot you could learn.
if your wire is properly fused, nothing's going to catch on fire. there are literally millions of cars on the road with probably more power running through the cabin than you'd be looking at. if you live in Northlake, IL, I'd even argue that you're increasing your risk by running the wires under the car. They'll be scraping over snow and getting doused with salt every winter.
also, if you're installing a stereo of any significant size (like, say 350-400wrms), that 4 gauge isn't really going to cut it. can I ask why you're interested in a second battery? For sustained power, you'd be better off buying a high output alternator, upgrading grounds, and looking into a cap if you still have issues. an extra battery is really just going to add weight unless you really like to park your car and listen to music when it's not running.
personally I don't even get the point of relocating the battery but if you're bored and want something to mess with more power to you lol.

This is the guy that bought the universal SRI. He's relocating the battery so the intake will fit....................
