Power Wire - Red + Black

[cbuts 10+ year member]

im going to be adding 2 batteries in the trunk soon, so im going to be doing 3 runs of negative, and 3 runs of positive, im told i need about 100 Ft for my 06 malibu. im just wondering what is good wire for a good price? and is there anything good on ebay? im thinking ill use 50ft black and 50 ft red for positive and negative confusions lol, i seen audiopipe wire is a good price, although im not sure how good it is, do people usually use tubing when doing this kind of operation aswell under the carpet?

thanks

I dont use the OFC, never will,

50' of CCA is only 76.99

Or he could check out execution audio wire at 59.99

both shipped

yes ,colors are blue black or red ,and i also have the ring terminals .as for the solder and flux ,the local home depot ,or i can do it for you if i know the wire lengths to cut ,for the cost of the materials used

depends on the battery up front ,or you can go off the alt if you make a block for it .but usually a distro off the top of the front battery that takes all the wire plus the car stock power wire ,and the same for the ground .i can have some blocks made that will work for what you want .your car should be 15 -17 ft runs depending on where you place the back batts .no need fo a block in the back .use some of the wire to connect the batts together

this is the battery upfront, could i see a picture of the terminals or something, and i would need 6 for batt under hood and 2 in trunk? will the terminals fit every battery? im gonna buy 2 used from scrap yard that are agm, im gonna call and ask for 100 AH rating, and hopefully find 2, but when i wire them i want to do it the best possible, and clean looking, im thinking i want to take out my spare tire and put the batteries there maybe under the trunk floor under the subbox etc

oh so i would cut all my wires that are currently connected, and screw them into the block that connects to the battery?

im heading to bed now, but i will be replying to this when i wake up, i just need a pic of what itll look like and to make sure itll fit my red top ( and other batteries if the red top dies ) and maybe a pic of how im going to run this all to the trunk.. haha, i will be calling scrap yards in the morning to look for 2 100AH batteries, and 2 100ah batteries should be fine as long as they are agm right? lol...thanks again for the help GNIGHT
