Wiring your S2000's new ICE setup
aww man...it's too late now though. damn you john. why couldn't you have posted this thread like two months ago?!
do you know where i can get the battery connectors and optima battery for a good price? also, what model is the yellow top? i searched, and found three different yellow top ones?

I have the large regular size version. I custom fitted it into the stock location. I had to remove the stock battery tray and what not to make it work.

Thank you darknigtht for the awesome write-up.
I'm just in the planning stages of my ICE install, so your info is right on time for me.
As soon as I can figure out what components I want, I may be back with some install questions.

I have a question. I currently have a 4 gauge kit running to a xtant 404 amp (400 watts or so with 4 channels) for my door speakers.
I just got a sub and will be running a 2nd 400 watt amp for that.
Now shoudl i just run two 4 gauge wire kits or can i run one thicker wiring kit for the power wire, and then split it into two 4 gauge wires in my trunk and run that to power each of my amps?
I was hoping to be able to run one large wiring kit first, and then split it so that i can run a capacitor possibly before the split instead of having to get a seperate Cap for each amp. What do u guys think?

I'd run your setup first without a capacitor to see if you even need one. If you do decide to install one, putting it in the main power wire is fine. A seperate one for each amp is unnecessary.
Actually you'll be just fine with that 4 gauge lead off the battery running to a fused distribution block in your trunk. Your honestly not running enough to warrant a 1/O cable, unless you want to. But just don't think you don't 'have to' because it would be overkill.
Just get a "fused" distribution block like Farkey said. Run your 4 gauge to that and split it into to 6 or 8 gauge cables, then run those to your amps and you'll be just fine. Just make sure you get a fused block
