Have a few questions that I can't seem to find the answers for.
I have a lbsc 6 and thinking of putting the battery in the boot. Now I have 2 subs and a amp already in there so will these cause a problem for the battery?

Also I do sometimes smoke in the car, I'm assuming with a modern battery I should be ok.

Does the battery need to vent?

I have 4awg and a 8awg already running from front to back, so can I use these and a junction box in the engine bay to join up the wiring, then just earth the battery.

Thanks

If your using a standard lead acid battery yes in theory it needs a vent, personally I'd get a good Gel battery instead.....

More space in the engine bay and generally tidy it up.
No real season, just fancied doing it.
