What's this huge red wire off my battery (pic)

[4.6andSlicks]

You can see it going over the drivers side shock tower. It has a hefty inline fuse (also visible) about a foot from the battery and is connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery. Goes through the firewall.

The picture you see isn't my car but it's a 2001 Cobra. When I bought mine, this wire was hanging (no fuse) and continues that way. I thought it was from some past owner that had a bad ass sound system and didn't think any more about it until I see this guy has the exact same wire.

Any thoughts?

yep, that's a power wire for an amp for a thumpin system. If you look in your trunk, you'll probably find the other end of it. Most likely, it'll be in the trunk under your spare tire cover. Take a look and let us know if you find it.
