soo.. what i was wondering was how does the battery work in the trunk? my assumption would be that all you would have to do is ground the battery in the trunk somewhere, and it would work with the amp, am I correct? anyone? :-D

My battery was originally relocated there when I did a 3L install. So the cables run up to the engine, And also power my Amps.
Dont know what others use when they have extra batteries.

No, you can't just ground it in the trunk, well you can but you would have to recharge the battery just about everyday being that you wouldn't have the alternator continusly charging it.

You could be just driving around and all of a sudden no more boom.

It looks like you have 2 10's. Am I right? If so, what are the dimensions of it? I need to do something like that with my stuff.

to the guy about the second battery... you don't need it nor do you need an alternator upgrade... unless your running several thousands of watts rms, you should be fine on a 135k alt. you could even add a capacitator to smooth out those spikes

and yeah if the 2nd battery is not running off the alt as well your gonna have to keep recharging it.
