    Are you moving the battery & if so where do you plan to move it too. Just trying to get an idea of what your planning.

    Go to a welding store and buy some 1/0 welding wire and then ust buy some 1/0 wire terminals from a parts store. The welding wire is cheaper and easier to work with. Also to put on the terminals just use a screw driver and a hammer. To measure how much you need take a piece of string and run it where you want to run the wire. Cut to length, measure string.

    I was going to suggest a welding supply shop as well or you can go to any car stereo shop & get any length/size wire you need too. I bought all my cable from a local stereo shop & just got the ends I need from a parts store!

    Good suggestions on the wire, one thing to keep in mind, is always give the wires a little bit extra of length, and always use shrink tubing and or solder your wires if you can to prevent corrosion. If you update your power wires to a larger gauge, its a good idea to upgrade the grounds as well, your power wires are only as good as your grounds and vice versa, try to avoid the old twist splice and electrica tape, it will work good for now but over time you will hae yourself for going cheap. . .
