Default Does anyone have any pictures of Amp wire runs in a C6z/GS?

I'm looking to install a couple of JL Slash amps (300/4 and 500/1) that I pulled out of my old C5z and I'm curious as to how everyone ran the wiring to the battery that is located in the passenger rear of the C6z/GS.

The battery compartment is pretty tight so there's not much room to add on a terminal splitter or distribution block, and I'm curious as to how people got the wiring to the battery underneath the compartment cover.

I searched this forum pretty extensively but couldn't find any examples (most of what I found were on base C6s with front batteries, or I found posts that were too old so their image hosting had expired).

Thanks in advance!

I snipped the ends off of the stock wires, crimped on some new terminals, and used marine terminals from WalMart. You can then easily add anything you want.

Just so I understand completely, the terminals you crimped onto the stock wires are just some "O" shaped terminals that would be secured by the wingnuts in the picture?

Correct.

If you don't have anything that can crimp on spades that big you can get a "hammer crimping tool" for under $20.
