wire length needed for 98 explorer?

[Lil Poot 5,000+ posts]

i'm wanting to run new wires from my front battery (stock location) to my rear battery, which is under the passenger side rear seat. its a 98 4 door explorer.

i think a 16 foot run will be plenty, but want to be sure before i buy a 32' run and come up 1 foot short or something (i'm doing 2 runs off each terminal)

sure, i could just rip out my carpet and take my seats out, pull the existing cable and measure it, but i figured asking here would be easier //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I'd buy a few extra feet just to be safe...

my 17 foot went from front batt to rear batt which was pressed up against the back door, so that should be more then enough

this probably isnt a bad idea, but I only say something if ive had experience with it. I had a 96 explorer and I of course ran it through the firewall on the DRIVERS side and 17 foot was perfect to reach the very rear, to get a guestimate, bust out the tape measure from front to back considering there is no twist and turns going down the drivers side

ended up just buying 2 50 ft rolls, one knu fleks and one kicker hyperflex. set me back a few bucks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
