cut the 2 black wires, and tape them up good and tuck out of the way.

Now run 4g fine strand power cable from that post over to + side of battery or hot side starter solenoid
Good idea to put 120amp in-line fuse on the power cable too.

Make sure to up-grade your grounds too, from battery to engine and from engine to frame

You can, but its better to just run nice expensive 4g stereo amp power cable by itself
I think. That way you KNOW the cable carrying the power load is up to the task.

I think leaving old ones hooked up just lends itself to a fire hazard.

Thats what the in-line fuse on the 4g cable is for too.
I've got mine mounted down where the airbox used to be.

I cut mine and wrapped em up good with electrical tape to get them out of the way.
They are HOT, so make sure they get taped and insulated good
