Ok im trying to finish up, my battery relocation to the trunk, I'm using the summit racing kit, I'm also using the moroso kill switch. What im having trouble with is I have no power, its not like i have no voltage tho. I do, i have 10.64, i know thats low. Im not trying to start anything, im just trying to see if lights and such work.

Im using my dmm on the battery, i have 10.64, then i follow the 1ga wire to the dist block in the front of the car. I have the same voltage, then i check where i did my wiring for my dist block. that also has the same voltage. Only thing i can think of is i possibly wired in the switch wrong.

I was told that i need to have the 1ga power wire from the battery to the one side of the switch, then have the dist block 1ga wire from the front of the car to the switch, then i have my alt, on the other post.(the moroso switch is a dual post switch). I know this isnt hard, i worked a long day, and im wanting to get my dsm on the road. Im prob going to put everything away and finish tomar moring. But if you guys got ideas or if i did do something wrong please let me know.
 
Try a simple check for inadvertant grounding from your wiring. Disconnect your battery at the posts, check voltage, then reconnect and check again. If lower when connected, you have a shunt through resistance to ground somewhere in the new work, and should leave the battery disconnected until fixed. If the same, you drained your battery somehow or otherwise don't have a sound charging system.
