clean up the positive of the main harness (oem harness that continues forward to the fusebox) to ensure a solid connection between that terminal, the terminal of your wire for the battery relocation, and the starter positive terminal.

cable comes out through the bottom near the lines for the fuel system. At this point follow these lines and use cable ties to help secure and tuck away this battery cable from drooping down and supporting it until it reaches the fuel line clips further ahead the underneath of the vehicle.

after passing the cable through the rear sear back, cut out the middle of this rubber grommet and pass the cable through this hole. It might be easier/helpful to use something like a wire hanger to help feed the wire from under the car through the hole the cable will exit through (see next picture for reference)

run the battery wires under the carpet towards the rear seats. The positive will go forward past the rear seats, the negative cables (I grounded each battery separately using 2awg cable to the base of both shock towers against the body of the car as well as provided them a shared ground)
