I took the grille back off today, it was a fun experiment but i like it better w/o. Let me put the battery thing in perspective for you. The stock AC Delco batt. is a taurus wagon, the optima is a tl-s. Does that make more sense now?

You may want to put a terminal cover over the positive terminal of the battery... moisture (or a crumpled hood during an accident) will cause the contacts to spark if they're exposed.

Or dropping a wrench on top of the battery. Watch the sparks fly.

I dig that grille. It makes the front of the car look 'bulletproof' or something, really mean looking...I like it!

daverman and NSXNEXT:
But then that takes all the fun and suspense out of playing with the car's electronics while the battery's in! No chance of electrocution??? That'd be terrible. For added fun, stick in 3-4 1F capacitors...that's a blast!

Thanks for the replys, i installed the batt. because i already had it laying around along with the connectors. I will be adding amp and sub soon. Maybe i'll come up with some sort of plexiglass cover for the terminals for safety sake.

If it can be just a bit for flush looking it would rock.
