Where to mount a second Battery??

[CrzyFool]

I would like to have an Optima Yellow-Top to power my electronics (600w amp drains like a mofo) And keep my Red-Top to power the engine. Once I have my Morgan-Tec inatke installed, where will I find room to mount the Yellow Top??

Take a look at Spazz's gallery. He has dual batteries plus a whole lot of other stuff mouted up there.

i dont think the engine bay has much room for another battery. so ur best bet is to install it inside the car, but tat requires u to get a battery box(if u dont mind an exploding battery i guess u dont need one). the only place tat might be able to hide a battery is in the plastic on the opposite side of the jack.

I'm of the opinion that you should mount any added mass towards the back of the car for better weight distribution.

Spazz's dual batteries under hood...

They will fit!

They will fit!

If you remove the stock airbox

I'm sure box will go bye-bye. He's putting a Morgan-Tec intake under the hood!

Ideally, any extra weight should go nearest the middle of the car as close to the center of gravity as possible. This will keep the extra mass from becoming extra lean while cornering. Of course, that should be balanced with the desire to balance the fore/aft weight distribution, as transio mentioned.

Actually, as close to the ground (or axle) as possible. If you add 1000 pounds at the center of mass, the car will still have more body roll than stock, because the force is a multiple of mass * distance from the pivot point (ground or axle, depending on whether you're calculating for suspension or tires). If you add mass at the pivot point, it is effectively neutral (if freely rotating) or can actually decrease body roll (if firmly attached to the frame).
