[QUOTE="inferno1985, post: 8509106, member: 639224"] Noticed that my engine is very hot. Just the bay. For the last 6 years I've had my battery in my trunk. I have a new car and again now my battery is in the engine bay . I feel like this is very had. By battery is all the way against my wheel well. I have the power wire routed from the battery to 1 ft then fused and then ran from that through a hole and ran inside my wheel well through the door and into the grommet that goes from your door frame to your door than gold the wires for your window buttons speakers and etc. It then ran down my floor boards to the trunk. With that being said the wire that is actually in the engine bay is very hot. I'm worried I'm losing some output from the long power wire and the heat my engine generates. Does anyone have any input. Only about 1 ft and a half is actually in the engine bay. It's then ran into the wheel well/ fender basically out side the engine. Does any one else have problems with the waging heat and three power wires performance? I dmm'd. At the alt. Got a 14.6 while car was hot. Dmm'd at the battery got the same. At yhem fuse got the same and them dmm'd at the amp and got 1 volt lower 13.6 pretty annoyed. [/QUOTE]
