I have a bunch of 2 gauge speaker cables from another vehicle I owned and was wondering if it is safe or reliable to use to relocate my battery to the hatch area?

2 gauge is pretty heavy duty. Some of the newer cars only have like 4-6 gauge stock going to the battery... I would say it would be safe, but that is just my opinion. 2 gauge for speakers though? Those connectors must have been huge!Last edited by doylerl; 07-30-2011, 10:07 PM.The normal is not always normal... MOST is not ALL... And any job can be hard if you don't have the right tools!!!

I'm using 2ga on my battery, it's in the back. 4 or even 6 would probably still do fine. It's not like a festiva has alot of current demand.

With 2 AWG you could relocate the battery to a shopping cart 50 feet away and still be fine.1990 White L-Plus 5-speed rust-machine

Just remember the batteries can give off gases that are poisonous and can explode. And rules is rules if you ever decide to race it formally.1993 GL 5 speed

And you can't do this if you relocate the battery to the cargo area.
