Summit online sells a Taylor nhra approved battery relocation kit. That is what I use in my car.

an example of too large a wire gauge:
if you then take a common home spigot and finagle a fire hose to it and turn-on the water, then there wouldn't be enough water pressure/volume to flow-through the hose; it would eventually fill-up, but not flow so good.

the same theory would apply to the use of the numerous number of straw sizes.
I'm sorry but you're obviously electrically retarded. Don't speak of electricity again and please don't install anybody's car audio equipment, not even if you pay them to do it.

Voltage DROP. The voltage will remain the same from the source, changing resistance won't change the source's voltage. The larger the wire, the HIGHER the voltage that gets to the load (ie battery). The larger the wire, the lower the RESISTANCE (but you already knew that).

You're right Fabrik8, you can install car audio in my books

What type of battery? I have an odyssey battery that doesn't contain liquid acid, so a battery box isn't needed to catch any spills..

¨ SUPERIOR CRANKING AND FAST CHARGE CAPABILITY The cranking power of
ODYSSEY® batteries is double to triple that of equally sized conventional batteries, even when the temperature is as low as -40°C. Also, with simple constant voltage charging, there is no limitation on the inrush current, so the user is assured of fast charge. This characteristic is explored in greater detail later in the section titled Rapid charging of ODYSSEY® batteries.
¨ WORRY-FREE SHIPPING The valve regulated design of the ODYSSEY® battery eliminates the need for vent tubes; further, no routine maintenance is required and there is no more fear of acid burns or damage to expensive chrome or paint. As a result of the starvedelectrolyte design, the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has classified the ODYSSEY®
battery as a dry battery, so it may be shipped worry-free by UPS/Federal Express or by air.
¨ MOUNTING FLEXIBILITY The ODYSSEY® battery may be installed on its sides without sacrificing any performance attributes. There is also no fear of any acid spillage.
¨ SUPERIOR VIBRATION RESISTANCE ODYSSEY® batteries have endured rigorous tests that demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional tolerance to mechanical abuse. Details of these tests may be found in the section titled Shock, impact and vibration testing.
¨ READY OUT OF THE BOX ODYSSEY® batteries are shipped fully charged. Simply install the battery in your vehicle and you are ready to go! With this battery, there is no need to boost charge, add water or clean terminals before installing.

Whoops, voltage drop, I missed a word. I'm a professional electronics technician, I don't like to make a type-o like that..

Beware, you still need a battery box if you want to race at most tracks, even if you have a leakproof battery. Odyssey and Optimas still need a box to be within the letter of the rules usually. For street it really doesn't matter..
