Does anyone know where i can buy a relocation kit,local.Im not talking about just the wires i want a legit battery box with a lid that wont slide around,and the wire clamp?that is thick enough to clamp two im guessing 6-8 gage wires.
Or if you have one that will easily fit a crx pm me like now.By the way by local i mean virginia beach area.

 

wow 6-8 guage? asking for trouble, cheap amp kits from walmart already come with 4guage. Try summitracing.com, they ship fast and good prices.

 

va speed

 

advance auto parts sells the boxes, and 4 guage wire, and assorted terminals.

dont use 8 guage please

 

ya i wasnt sure which guage it is,but i have jumper cables that are 8 guage and there pretty meaty haha.But ya im trying to avoid shipping ill give advance a shot tomorrow.

 

yea summit has it for cheap (if u buy the summit brand) un less you want the big brand name you could pay 3x the price for crappier stuff

o and u need at least 2 gauge wire

 

I'd like to squash the 2 gauge before this gets out of hand. I don't know how many times I've heard "Dude you need at least 2/0 gauge to start your motorcycle/Honda/lawn mower", etc.) Someone's been buying into the car audio hype about needing massive wire size for no logical reason (well, profit is logical I guess).

2 gauge is massive overkill. It won't hurt anything, but it's overkill. It sucks to have to run it and hide it in a car, too..

4 gauge is more than fine, it's rated 135-150 amps continuous at 15 feet. I don't think you'll have a problem. Your current can be much higher than that for short duration also, it's all about heat dissipated from wire resistance. You don't need to source a constant 150 amps, do you? I know a lot of the kits come with 2 gauge, which is fine. Be sure you don't use car audio wire though, that's garbage wire. Use decent automotive grade wire (just like your stock battery cables are made of) and make sure you put a fuse or breaker on the battery end of the wire. Burning the car to the ground isn't something you want to do I'd imagine.

Just because someone sells a 2 gauge kit, doesn't mean you need it. Starting a high compression V8 from the back end of a long chassis with the headlights on and the stereo cranked, maybe.

 

correct me if im wrong, but i think the industry standard for new cars is 4 gauge ???

 

do i really need another fuse for the battery if there is already one under the hood?

 

Is there a reason you're relocating it or just for the hell of it?
