As for the wire size, the bigger the better! I used 2 gauge which I had lying around from a battery relocation kit I bought from Summit years ago. Most will say no smaller than "0" gauge.
I routed mine through the interior only because I installed the MAD Electrical solenoid. The cable is only hot during cranking.


Up the channel and through the passenger side toe kick area.


I used the rubber grommets through the floor. Others have used studs when going through the floor.
Being a unibody car, I grounded the battery to the body. Having subframe connectors I could have done it to the frame also. I will have grounding straps engine to frame, frame to body, engine to body. Do not overlook the importance of proper grounding!
Most of all have fun! lol
errr is it just me or did u just say ur cable only works when cranking? how will u charge the battery? do u have a different circuit going from the alternator to battery? and another circuit to all other vehicles power needs? u will need a hot when ignition is on to power acc and even engine.
