Yep. Got a box from murrays for $15. Kinda expensive for a little plastic box but it looks goodAnd i got 1 gauge cable from a welding supply store for $2.94 a ft. IMHO it completely worth it to do on your own instead of buying the $75 kit.

you make your own battery relocation?
you did install a battery quick disconnect right??? I believe that is a required item when mounting battery in the trunk as part of the rules when racing at the track....I had to do it

Ive got some and im going to run some rustoleum over it too. Better yet, i think im just going to get a fiberglass lid

Looks good, except the rust.
+1 pick up a quart of por15 to stop that from spreading any further
how does a top coat stop an internal issue? you do know that rust spreads from the inside out...dont you??[&:]

I got 12 ft and it was BARELY enough. I ran the cable through the interior too, to keep it as short as possible. If i ever do it again i would buy at least 13ft just to be comfortable.

Alright the guy who first bought the car went and got the car stero done up insane like really crazy stuff for an 93 car you know like tweeters and 8 regular speakers so he went all out everything is perfect. he put a 15" kicker in the trunk. insane sounds awsome not like a stupid sounding system this one is serious the one of the clearest ones I ever heard and I go to some crazy car shows and stuff. But due to the car having a supercharger the battery had to be relocated I quess so since he apparently doesnt have room I dont know I havent torne apart the trunk Im afriad becuase it looks so nice as is. But he put he bat right behind the pass seat. I want to move it to the trunk. What you guys think I should do here are some pictures of the cars trunk.
