#174660 in the trunk. preferably on the passenger’s side so you don’t have to run extra wire.
BTW you’ll nee fatty gauge power wire. Something like 0-1 gauge.
WalMart sells battery boxes.

Now what kind of batt. are you putting in the trunk?
Battery be optima or something similar to gel insides.
Regular batt. releases toxic gases throughout the process which can actually kill you.
so if ur using stock batt., make sure you went it, usually running a tube from the closed-up batt. box to the outside.

hope it helps! :woot:
