I already have my positive wire from my amp ran to the back, couldn’t i just take the amp out, move the battery to the back and hook the wire (the one origionally to the amp) to it, and under the hood just connect the other end of what was the amp wire to the starter/fuse wire?
That is exactly what i plan on doing.
funny thing, i just bought one of those circut breakers cause i decided to rewire my amp with new 4guage wire.
all i need is the dist. block and a little bit of 8guage i a batt box and im gonna do it.
Should b a fairly easy project:salute:
has anyone put the battery where the oem intake runs under the fender??? ive seen it done on a crx never on a da/db2
Woo haven’t checked on my thread ina while…
Eh…why the hell would someone do that? I’m assuming you are talking about where the stock intake resonator is cause where that snorkel thing goes under the headlight there isn’t enough room…Anyway if it was the intake resonator location I don’t see why anyone would want to put the weight of a battery on that flimsy peice of plastic right there. Even if you got some straps or something to hold the battery up…why!?

I think he’s talking about stuffing a battery inside the fender or near that location out of site. I’ve seen it done on Civics and CRX’s but most are done with a motorcycle battery or one of those slim type batteries that costs like $400. Makes the engine bay look clean but I think it’s a waste of money.
$400 battery??? are you high?

[QUOTE=G2INVADOR;1482323]of course guys we have seen this many times right. the idea , well to better say hes intentions r good, but the job could b done on a better way.
im not hating ok , i clear that up.
but u should have build a box for the batery, that way if anything the batery will b close, but of course make some vents so the batery b able to bread.
circuit breaker u could find a better place for it.
one thing to REMEMBER is , why u going to have ur car looking nice inside n when u open ur trunk or hatch its going to b a miss or a cheap job done on it.
thanks[/QUOTE]
english class my friend. it will do wonders for you
this is a 2yr old thread… btw i would suggest everyone that does any kind of wiring whether it be for amps or battery relocation not to use circuit breakers. and especially using them as on and off switch will wear the contacts prematurely and more moving parts = more chance of something failing.
still the english could be better. lol. anyway, i agree the less moving parts you have the less you have an for the nasty opportunity of breakage to occur.
"english class my friend. it will do wonders for you " :roll:
BTW, chances are, you’ve had like 20 breakers in your house for longer then you’ve had your car. How many of them have “broke” since you lived there?
i don’t like the idea of a Alternating Current circuit breaker being hooked to my car’s battery, but it isn’t because it will fail. its because it is clearly designed to be in a panel of breakers in a 240volt Electrical panel of a house…not the trunk of a car.

since when did anyone suggest using circuit breakers found in the house for the car???
and you’re honestly comparing apples to oranges… since when is the home environment the same as a cars?
im assuming the majority of people who use circuit breakers for the car either a) want it for convenience b) use it as a switch whenever they’re working on something electrical.
the convenience is there its just the reliability issue.
-
circuit breakers have contacts that will arc and pit over time if tripped. especially if you use the circuit breaker as a switch this will wear it out even more, increasing the contacts resistance and reducing reliability.
-
moving parts = more chance of failure… simple as that
-
contacts can weld shut and circuit breaker will be unable to trip
-
fuses are solid connections ( no bad connections to worry about ie. solder) prime example… bad solder on main relays…
