Relocating battery to CD changer area? I hate to start new threads, but search yielded nothing useful to me. Has anyone relocated a battery to the CD changer area? I'd like pictures please!
I realize there's a lot of room in the spare tire well, but I have a spare tire in there (go figure) and it's not getting taken out. I'm not getting stranded again. I use my T-TOP ****, too. And the back seats. I use everything in their stock locations except the CD changer because I never got one of those.

I have. Tight fit for sure. Some BFH work on the inner wheel well. Need to get the smallest battery box you can find and I shifted my t-top holders to the pass side of the trunk a bit.
Had to basically shave off one side of the box, but it's the side to the rear so you can't see it. I only have hand tools so it isn't the cleanest cut, but works ok. And the bolts cannot be dead center in the box so you need new holes. (The frame is not centered in that opening.) I have a cut off switch too, but didn't put it outside, so not NHRA legal but I hardly do track time anymore.
Followed Sarge's write up on wiring and put a junction box up front in the stock battery location.
Pics weren't uploading but are in my public albums.
