Running Power From Your Car Battery to Your Trunk
Posted by angrycamel at August 5th, 2007
One of the first steps to installing a carpc is to install the wiring necessary to provide 12v DC power to your power supply or power regulator. Below I have posted 18 pictures that will take you through the entire install process from start to finish as I did in my 2004 Acura TSX. In each image there is text so that you can easily follow along.
TokyoJoe from Acurazine had this to add to the HowTo:
It looked like you used a Spade connector for your battery cable. That should work fine, but I personally would have used a ring terminal That way you know that sucker isn’t going to pop off. Theoretically with a spade connector the nut could get loose and your cable would pop off. The chances of that happening though are probably pretty slim.
