Stee-Z Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 i did a stupid move.. i cut my 1/0 about a foot too short to reach to my trunk, so my question is should i just get 1/0 couplers and it will all be good? or would it be even better to have my battery in the backseat on the floor, because it gets real cold hear in the winter and it would warm up faster? ( one benefit lol), so what would you do? get couplers and just keep it in trunk or set on the floor in backseat? the only problem i find with backseat is if someone wants to sit their where do they put their feet? lol Quote (4)DD 9918's (2)DC 10k 8 6.5" focals 2 DD SS4 mid amps Audison Bit One processor Jl-cl-rlc line driver iPad in dash Dual Irragi 320a alts 8 batcaps 4000's Second Skin sound deadened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 You can use ring terminals with a nut and bolt through them to extend the wire. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyfromthe407 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 It doesn't REALLY matter, its personal preference IMO I would rather have it in the trunk, with the hidden wire running all the way to the trunk. But instead of getting crimpers or something similar for crimping the wire together to extend it, I would just buy a new 8ft piece of 1/0. Cleaner IMO. But on the floorboard without some other ideas you aren't gonna get as clean of an install, and your gonna have at least 2 wires running to the battery on the floorboard, one to connect in parallel to the batt in front, and the other to go to your amp.. Also, your gonna have a ground wire, which would be easier to find a better ground if you had it in the trunk. Either way your gonna get the same results...I mean the shorter the 1/0 from your amp to your battery is gonna give you a TAD better results, but that short of distance probably wouldn't noticably phase it. So it would be hard to get a clean install just setting it on the floor...but its doable.

BJD3 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 What car is this? See if you can stuff it under the rear seat. If I ever need to bet a battery bank, that's where mine is going. The fact that my seat bottom comes up is a huge plus though. Lol Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

tonedeaf Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Either one, as long as its an AGM battery. I prefer in the trunk...looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
