Default Remote Battery Installation

I plan to move the battery to the passenger trunk well. I've got a bracket for it and equipment which I'm refamiliarizing myself with having bought it a year or two ago.

All electrical gear was ordered from CE Auto Electric Supply.

I've got enough cable to run both ground and power the full length if decided. Distribution blocks. Remote jumper connectors. Dual 200amp resettable circuit breakers. And various crimped ends for the cable.

My initial plan was to run power and ground to the front like the oem battery placement and it still is for the most part to me because I have so many electronics added to the car which I want to be sure are getting steady ground and current.

What are some trunk setups others have done? Pictures? Placement? Routing? Trying to see what the smart setups are doing.

I did a curiosity search and found this thread from a couple years back. Looks like Kubs has a nice setup. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...cation-or.html
