Yeah, I would be curious to see that as well. Did you use a fuse block of some sort?

i bought a 4 guage amp kit that came with a 17ft inline fuse cable and a 3 foot negative cable.

ran the positive cable all the way to the front and connected it to the 3 cables that i took off the terminal under the hood. as far as the negative cable i just grounded it inside the trunk right next to the rear windshield washer resovoir.

there are many ways to do this, mine was a average priced project. most expensive thing was the battery......lol

bought some digital terminals tonight so i will be putting those on soon. i was gonna use the stock terminals but the negative wouldnt come off so i bought two matching ones from autozone for temporary purposes......

----BATTERY- 150
----TERMINALS-20
----CABLE (AMP KIT) 30 BUT YOU CAN JUST BUY SOME CABLE AT A SOUND SHOP CHEAPER
----BATTERY TRAY - 20 BUCKS

thats basically it.............and just a little bit of time and patience running the wire and tryin to make it look clean will get ya going.........

If you arent buying the optima then it can be very very cheap. but these batteries are vibration resistent and i have the pro sevens on which is a harder ride then stock so it can be quite bumpy.......lol
