Default Battery Relocation

I need to relocate my battery in my 92 so I have room for a catch can and some other stuff under the hood of my 92. I was thinking about relocating it to the bin behind the drivers seat. I know people have done this so Pics and input would be great! I need to know where you ran your wiring also.,

would it be deep enough plus wouldn't the brake modules need relocating?

Not sure if the 92's have a storage bin behind the passenger's seat. But, this is where a friend relocated the battery on his 95.

Sorry I meant behind the passenger seat. I can fit a optima back there without any issues. Im just wondering where the best location to run the wires would be.

Would you run the cables internally? I would probably run them along the trans tunnel,under the carpet, to keep them away from the footwell speakers, in case of any potential interference,thats what I had to do with the direct feed (from the battery) to the Kenwood Amp Ive got in the back, not sure if it would make much difference but might be worth thinking about..

I dont see why, the behind the seat thing would not work. I have seen them in the spare tire area under the car too. When you move the battery, NHRA requires a kill switch at the back of the car.

Thanks guys. I thought about running them undert the carpet by the tunnel. I also thought about running them in the rocker but I wasnt sure where i would make a entrance into the cockpit to the storage compartment. I guess I will just have to get under there and poke around.
