Ideas on where to mount battery box in 2g trunk.

[98TsiAWD]

I am trying to figure out the best place to mount this thing. I am keeping the piece of wood and carpet in the car, but no spare. I do not want to cut my spare mounts out tho so It wont fit down in there.
I was thinking I could maybe screw it to the metal floor just behind the rear seatbacks. Then I can still lift the wood/carpet thing up.
but does anyone have any better ideas?

i think i would do it on the far left back, like in that corner where the light is

Because of the extra support under it? I will try and see how it fits over there.

matt, thats where i put my sub box for my 10, it works great for holding heavy things up...

I think Ill mount my kill switch something like you did. Shouldtn you have that in a battery box

Its a sealed batt so not really, but i guess it should be in a box.

Yeah I have a yellowtop and it came with the batterybox, so why not use it. If It didnt come with it Id probly roll boxless like you since it doesnt even have acid in it.

the box the relocation kit came with is HUGE. it would not allow the batt to sit in that corner. i think the 1G trunk is a little smaller then yours.

i relocated mine to the spare tire well, i jsut cut out the center bracket and permanetly mounted it there. the battery tie down is actually drilled through the bottom and welded to the underneath of the spare tire well, to make sur its secure, even when the battery is not in the car, and then is just vented off to the right to the outsie of the car

jdm, where did you get that battery tie down from. right now mine is ghetto rigged down in the trunk floor kind of like 62-1 but not in a box

i went to a local speed shop and purchased a complete batt relocation kit. i think you can get all of it from summit or jegs for like 50 bucks.

my battery tie down is just like his but it came with the box, i got a moroso kit

can you cut that metal bar like was done? Does that offer the car more structural support. If i was to cut that metal piece out like you did would i have to weld something in there or is it just for the spare tire?
