Battery up front......?

I have a 07 ls and i am thinking about putting my battery up front to help with my big 3. I also am going to put a battery in the back, maybe kinetic in both places. I know i would like to put it in the place that is occupied by the aircleaner. That means that i would have to have a put in a cold air pipe. Has anyone done anything like this before and if so i would love some pics....... help a guy out.

i would love to see a pic of are alternator being grounded, i want to do that...and i think he wants to do that so that the battery gets charged faster due to the length of the cable that runs to the trunk....that's another question i hve that copper cable definitely isn't directly from the battery to the alternator or is it?

I am looking to put my battery up front to be different and make my car unique. I am also putting in a large stereo system and want ample current reserves.
I dont think that wire goes directly to the battery. It goes from the alt to the fusebox and the fusebox to the the battery.

no offense, but thats a pretty annoying project just to be unique. Just run 2 batteries in the trunk.

you guys don't know how lucky we are to have the battery in the trunk from the factory. That's one of the first mods other car owner have to do to free up space and improve the weight distribution. It's nuts to do this just to be different.
