Here's a pic of where I put it in my car





You can just crouch down to the ground and hit the switch if you know where it is.

Welding supply....

Don't use welding cable.. It is not very flexible... Car audio/amplifier wire is the best... If you are using 1/0, stinger Expert is the best there is... It can be tied in a tight knot.....very flexible and easy to route...

depends on how much markup they have. Audio shops have really high markups. Retail is $6 a foot. Cost is 1.85.. Anywhere between those two.

you know the kill switches are rated to only so much before the blow out, so if you have a complete short after the kill switch, it should blow out before anything melts. Plus, on a bad day your starter could blow out a several hundred amp fuse just from cranking. I think thats why kill switches are required... What I'm saying is that you cant really put a fuse b/w the battery and starter.

And my kill switch its pretty ghetto riged. But it has worked fine for the last 3 yrs. I'll post pics of my setup in the next few days.
