Evo battery trunk relocation

I've checked the How Toos and didn't see this in there, I may have missed it. I found one thread for the OZ but not sure if they have the 3 cable positive and one black/yellow cable negative configuration like the Evo.

I need to know how to wire this up. I have an idea on how to do this but want to make sure this is done correctly. Can anyone help out?

Thanks.

I am very interested as well. Someone said the wires going to the trunk would weight a lot but I dont see it that bad.

I know we've been working on the battery relocation kit for way too long but now there is now light at the end of the tunnel.

Shifting weight towards the rear of the EVO is a great idea.

in general, all you need is 2 cables, about 0 gauge preferable, a couple of fuses, a battery tray to run a battery in the back. because so many people make the light, small batteries already for the evo, the amount of weight of 0 gauge wires would negate any gains.

I ordered a kit from Summit. 16 feet of 2 gauge red cable and 3 feet of black 2 gauge cable. All I need is how to wire it up. On the POS there are 3 cables bundled, and actually the ground is bundled with it. So do I just connect all three that go to the POS to the red 16 feet cable? Do I leave the ground in the engine bay loose, not grounded? Do I have to run another 16 feet cable for the ground in the engine bay that is bundled with the other 3 POS cables? These are the questions we need answered, well I do anyways.
