Suggestions? Want nice battery cables (relocating)

[SirThomas88]

Anyone know where to find some really nice battery cables? I'm relocating my Optima battery to behind the driver seat, on the floor. I want some cables that not only will perform better (flexibility, resistance) but also look good in the car.

I was thinking Monster cables, but they're meant for audio equipment, and I don't know if it matters.

Would 0 gauge be the way to go?

Thanks in advance.

are you sure you want to put it behind the drivers seat?? between the back seat and trunk is prime location. i only say this because you the drive are already adding weight to one side. passengers side makes a bit more sense, but its just my own opinion

not to sure where you could get the fancy cables, probably a car audio installer or supplier

Josh, I used 1/0 Rockford Fosgate Cable Wire when I did the sound system. I also did the big 3 with this cable when I changed the alternator for my heavy sound system. I can take a photo for you if you want to see how we did my battery and wires on my car. Here is a pic:



One last thing make sure you get a battery box and properly vent the box.
You can pick up the cables at The Audio Connection. They have 3 locations and are a great shop. I have only used them in all my past sound systems and custom installs.

kicker and stinger both make good looking and flexible cables. both have good looking battery terminals as well. i'd go with 0ga if i were doing it.

Yeah I would use kicker or rockford fosgate or monster cable. The terminals I have can run the battery cables but also has other openings on the terminal in case you need to ground a heavy sound system or what not

I'd love to see some pics of your cable job homie, I ran some decent cables but those terminals look nasty! Is the extra grounding solely for a thumping system or does it help with performance at all, in your opinion? They claim perf. boost but I've been researching online and am a bit skeptical.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think I'm going to go with Monster cables and battery terminals. The battery terminals look the nicest and are cheaper than some of those other brands.

Now to figure out this whole battery relocation thing once and for all...
