tristanlee85 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm moving the battery to the trunk and I need to get some wire. I figure Columbus Car Audio would have what I need, but I go to work and leave for before and after their hours. Best Buy sells a 4awg wiring kit, but it's $110. Is there a store that can sell me this stuff by the foot that might be open until 8pm or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristanlee85 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I already have the tray and tie down so wiring is the last thing I need. Those look to be pretty cheap. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristanlee85 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I didn't think about checking them. I'd rather it be someone local so I can get the car running sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'd go with bigger than 4 gauge if your gonna run your starter from your trunk. If you ever have to really crank on it you'll melt the 4 gauge pretty fast. 2 would probably be the best price/size to use. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar1647545494 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Radioshack used to carry stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 If you need wire by the food, go to The Andersons. That place has it for way less than most places, open late, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 do you need a cut-off switch to run the battery in the trunk, when at the the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedrx7 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 the answer is yes, You need a kill switch mounted on the outside of your vehicle in plain site. It will be an inspection when at tech. Usually they just say next time make sure you have one. The battery needs to be secured to the car itself in a box and be vented i believe.

Twistedrx7 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Unless your battery is stock mounted in the back you do not need a kil switch. Kill switches are expensive FYI $80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbustuner Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Unless your battery is stock mounted in the back you do not need a kil switch. Kill switches are expensive FYI $80 The price usually depends on how many amps it's rated for.My nhra legal jegs kill switch was only 18.99+ 3.49 for the face plate.Some of the moroso and flaming river ones they sell are 80 dollars and above though.
