Battery relocation (was Re: car stereo install accessories)

[rocco_crossing@hotmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

Somebody on this strain said something about having extra wire for a battery 
relocation. Who ever knows please let me know or if you know a place to get 
the wire really cheap. I am begining to think about doing this.

Peace Out,
