Battery Relocation Question
Hey, you guys think 4 gauge wire is large enough to run as the power wire to the trunk? Or will not enough juice go through it? I live in wisconsin and it can get pretty cold in the winter. Anyone use 4 gauge before?

The juice will go through it, it's just a question of whether the gauge is enough to keep it from burning up your car. Search for it on here, it's been done, I just don't know the gauge.

Couldn't immediately shut it due to my ass being in the middle of birthing something unholy.
As for the urinal rules, most guys put way too much thought into it.

Just to clear up some space under the hood. And I ran out of cheap things to do to my car.

A good Quality 4g will be fine, the wire from your alternator is barely 4g so there is no need to go any bigger. But like I said, good quality wire, multi strand wire and none of those crappy Walmart Amp Kits. My work sells Rockford Fosgate power wire or Monster would be my choices.

i run 4 guage wire when i relocated my battery it works great i still would recomend a nice zero guage it is more expensive but it will give the best current flow but on a budget build 4 guage would be big enough like i said i ran 4 guage n i live in montana so it gets COLD in the winter here and HOT in the summer n i have never had a problem with it n its benn almost two years since i moved it
