I got a question, Im planning on relocating my battery to my trunk (so I can fit my custom 3.5" to 3" intake with velocity stack) I know I have to run two wires from the battery one to the starter and one to the fusebox and a new wire from the alternator to the fusebox but what I'm not sure of is what gauge wire to use for this and what amp fuses to run with each wire, also where would I tie in a circuit breaker with this as I was told that I should run one if I'm going this route I already have a battery box and the battery is a yellow top optima

Think of it like running an aftermarket amp in your trunk. I'd run 1/0 gauge wire. Is there some reason why you're going to run a 3"-3.5" intake? Have you done some work to your motor, or is it just stock?

Try mounting the speakers from underneath. That usually gives you more clearance. Unfortunately, this is an issue with some aftermarket speakers.

It's just stock"ish" Intake,Headers,Exhaust,Port matched head,minor port work done on the intake manifold (not going to bother cutting it apart to do a full job save that for my tsx mani) started a second job 2 months ago to speed things up with my build, I'm in the part gathering stage right now :p but I got some nice toys on the way to help me build more power later (homemade flowbench
) I wanted to build my motor first but after noticing some rust forming on the rear drivers wheel arch I decided paint/looks would be my first focus so I'm working from the inside out got all my materials to reupholster just trying to track down a good place in canada to order some katskinz replacement leather, and since my interior is torn apart thought it would be a good time to lay some wires and relocate it now, wiring and electrical have always been the bane of my existence :p I just wanted to double check here first before I spend the money for parts time to put all my schooling/experience to work on my own vehicle for a change (3rd year apprentice mechanic and 1st year apprentice autobody) thanks for the quick reply

You should be able have a 3" intake clear your battery. What most people do is cut off the positive battery terminal from the charge harness, and add a circuit breaker or fuse holder, then run cable from that to the trunk. If you are replacing the power cable in your charge harness, then you'll need to break it down anyway since the knock sensor wire and alternator wires are part of the charge harness and you need to reuse those. Then you can just use the stock cable as a guide.
Where in Canada are you anyway?

Not me. That shit was out of my price range. I do have the ck3100 and love it for its handsfreeness. Yes. That's a word because I made it up.

Actually, I don't disagree. That's what I would use.

I installed the MKi9100 in the Fit and was less than impressed. The call quality sucked and the iPod part of it stopped working after 8 months. I need to rip that pos out.

okay I got a question. So the accord doesn't have a sub signal. So how do you guys with system get a signal for the sub when you have a 4 channel amp hooked up? Does the audio processor give you sub signal? Or do you tap a signal? Because when I look at the instruction of the cleansweep there is only 4 RCA that goes into the amp. So I am freaken confused.
I ask this because I have a 4 channel amp and a mono D amp.
So please educate me.

Y adaptor isn't the best choice, but it may be the only one you have. Does your 4 channel amp have an output or a pass through?

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_218OCR504/Phoenix-Gold-Octane-R-5-0-4.html?tp=115&tab=features_and_specs
Its this one for the 4 channel and
http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-GM-D7500M-Class-D-Amplifier-Watts/dp/B0036W9QEK
for the mono amp.
I was thinking about selling the 4 channel now just because I don't want to rerun the wires through the fire wall. The one hole that is above the clutch is full now.
