i relocated the battery on my ws6 to the spare tire space and i like to know wat would be best :to run the positive cable under the cabin or throu the cabin?????

 

did mine inside

 

+1 for inside

 

Every one I've seen done was inside, under the carpet either around the pans or under the console / over the tunnel hump.

 

where did you come out on the firewall?
thanks

 

theres a grommet for the PCM- already in place- its what write ups use for shift lights- id stick with that

+1 for inside too, my friend wanted to run RCA cable for his subs outside the car- i almost hit him for even mentioning it

 

Are you sure you want to run that kind of current next to low-voltage sensor wires?
It seems like they'd pick up a lot of noise.

 

didnt think about that, just drill a hole and put a gromment in there- id do it somewhere behind the glove box still

 

Well I asked for peoples opinions of the best way to route the 0 ga wire inside or out. The majority said inside behind the computer. I guess I'm thick headed but didn't like the idea of routing that thick cable behind the PCM and down the carpet.
So I ran it down and through the middle of my welded in Sub frame connectors. I found this totally awesome spot to drill and come up in to the car. The wire is tucked up and is never the lowest item. In fact I really only have about 3 total feet exposed. I also have it tucked behind factory heat shields and covered it with heat reflecting tape and a fire blanket material near the exhaust. Take a look

BRD-Prey- you do have a valid point but being its a 0g or 1g wire the coating is pretty thick. I don't think there would be any problems with it.

I would wire it along the sides rather than under the carpet near the tunnel. IMO it'd be easier to pull out if ever need to.

I have 1 wire running along the drivers side and my alt wire running down the pass side.

What alt wire? on pass side? Do you mean the alternator wire? I went back and forth on how I wanted to run it. I was just glad and surprised on how clean the install came out. The wire doesn't hang down at all.

Yes the wire going from the alternator to the kill switch. have to run 2 postive wires from the front to the back.

 

I ran mine outside down the length of the trans tunnel..then to the starter.

 

We use a bulkhead pass-through at the firewall, that way we have an access point for other electronics like the MSD and such. And also makes for a cleaner install.

 

Yeah thanks Lone Warrior I was hoping someone would recommend this. I'v done two relocates and both used the firewall pass thru setup. It make it much cleaner and safer. Sorry no pics of the firewall when done but there is a few choices all on summit like this http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

 

Mine runs down the pass side frame rail, then down the sub frame connector.
