> [@Hooked on 240](#): > > fyi. teh boxes at walmart for 6.97 and the ones at peopboys/advance are the same. The boxes at Walmart snap together. They aren’t that great. The boxes at Advance Auto have a strap that also sucks (that’s the kind I have). Save yourself a trunk full of battery acid and get one that bolts down. Whether it’s plastic or metal it doesn’t really matter. And don’t get a cheap amp power kit because the wire might not be the correct gauge. ---

why are you doing this? youll need a cut off switch too, unless you like being illlegitimate about things… get the kits from Summit racing, or find a BMW in the junk yard and rip out there wiring. older 3 series had a nice trunk setup ---

When I had my CRX, I went out and bought a marine battery box from that place in Latham Farms plaza. I can’t think of the name of the place at the moment, but it was a decent box. ---
