so you just get some big gauge wire, connect the two positives together, and wire and earth for the boot battery in the boot is it?
[im looking at two batterys, maybe] or would you have to just connect positive-positive, and neg-neg on the two batterys???
or would i be better off just putting a transit, or other high capacity battery in, as I only want two due to a powered sub and amped front speakers going in the car soon.
Thanks

Connect all the positive wires to some heavy gauge cable, run that to the relocated battery.
Then earth the earth stuff in the engine bay, and earth the battery in the boot

Dave Creations - Get a fused splitter box for the front to connect all lives up to under the bonnet and your best putting a fuse on it, run a thick guage cable to the boot (i would put a fuse here also) and connect to battery, earth in the boot
supremefaulk - what you are asking is something different, to put two batterys in you need a split charge system, which you wont need unles you are running a high power sound system

run it to a kill switch inside the car then thru the bulk head to the charging/starting system etc
