Battery relocation in a 91 CRX/Civic

I just moved my battery to my hatch and I love it. It makes the engine bay look so much cleaner plus you can see the big ass aluminum tranny mount I spent so much $$ on. I wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be since I had a power wire for a amp that I didn't use any more in the back already. I used a distribution block at the front with a 4 gauge in and four 8 gauge out. Just be sure to run two 8 gauge wires to the starter because that will be the biggest draw on power.

You should be using like 0-2 gauge for the power and ground, and 4 to everything. Hope youre using a sealed battery/box!
I need to get going on my relocation too...

Everything works fine with 4 gauge main and 8 to my fuse box and two 8 gauge to my starter. Why do you say use a sealed box???
