Well the summit one is junk IMO,and porbably won't fit in a storage bin. I would have gone with the the blue sealed box by moroso, but thats $100. Its going to cost a grip to for wiring, especially if you are going to ripp all the old junk out, which you should and replace it all. 2gauge is $5 a foot, 4gauge is 2.3ish a foot, you need like 15ft+ of each. I would put it in one of those storage bins if i were you, the passenger side one.. Nice thing about running the wires is, behind the passenger kick panel there is already a big hole to run the wires So what you should do, is go by an audio place and buy all the wiring you need, then go on summit and buy a box.

yeah if you have no real need for it, i woulnd't reccomend doing it. I had to; my rad is so big that it takes up the spot for the battery postion under the hood.

instead of paying inflated prices at a car audio place, just go

to any good auto parts store,I think Home Depot might even sell the wire, any 2-4 gauge wire that is chemical resistant should be fine. I get it on spools from the marine supply place for the boats so trust me those car audio places are ripping you off for crap like that.

you beat me too it rob dammit. i paid .50 a foot at home depot. Jay if you are going to put a system in the back you will already have lots of weight there, so leave the battery where it is
