C6 Grand Sport battery relocation
I am relocating the battery in my 2010 GS Convertible from the front to the rear passenger side cubby. The end result should be the same as any GS Coupe and/or Z06 or ZR1. Can anyone tell me if the positive cable is routed through the cab under the inside sill trim? If not, where? Also, where does the positive cable come through the firewall? Any information, tips or photos will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have a 2011 GS dry sump setup, so my battery is in the rear. If I can get home before dark, I'll take some pics and post for you.
Do a search too, I believe this has been discussed before.

I didn't find much on searching this topic. If you are ever in the Phoenix area, let me know and I'll buy your dinner!

Thanks, I had found this write-up, but it is nowhere near the OEM setup that I wish to duplicate. Although, some of the photos could be helpful.

The negative cable is routed behind the passenger side speaker location, and attaches to the top of the bulkhead right behind the seats. The connection is on the top of the bulkhead just forward of the passenger speaker.
Hope this helps. Sorry, no pictures possible.

The positive cable is routed along the outer edge of the floor, under the carpet. It is a 4 gauge cable in split loom. It goes underneath the fusebox, and through the firewall about halfway up.

I hope I can route my 1 gauge wire in the same way. I don't feel that 4 gauge is adequate, regardless what GM says!
