Battery hidden/big 3 help

[arthurk 10+ year member]

So on my car, the battery is hidden up under the wheel well and then the wires go to two posts under the hood and everything is hooked to those. I already have 2 Kinetic Hc 2400's for the trunk and am wanting to replace the stock battery up front with another Kinetic and do the Big 3. My question is, don't I also need to run 1/0 to the hidden battery to those posts under the hood?

See the yellow positive sign is where everything is hooked up and then behing the cold air intake on the strut tower is the negative. There are wires going from each of these to the battery, which is hidden under the wheel well. Do I need to replace THAT wire with 1/0 gauge?

Run 1/0 directly to the battery from the alt. Fusing is optional but recomended.

That negative should be upgraded to 1/0 too because it sounds like that is the factory ground for the battery.

FYI, that's not a cold air intake, it's a short ram intake. They are commonly mistaken for cold air intakes.

Ok, as you can see in this pic the wires that you saw up top going to the actual battery.

difference?

A short ram intake usually sits where the factory air box sat. It is also known as a warm air intake. A cold air intake usualy goes down into the fender, between the bumper and one of the front wheels. There, the temperature of the air is much cooler as it is not affected by the heat of the engine.

Also, the front battery isn't a 2400 because they are way too big to fit up under there. Probably be a 1800 or smaller. I Have to see what will fit.
