I assume you're talking about a c900?
There are a few ways to do it... The approach I took was to buy 16' of 2-gauge wire, and 3' of 4-gauge wire. The 2-gauge wire runs from the passenger side of the trunk (where the battery is) down the driver's side of the car, through a grommet in the firewall, under the coolant resevoir, and to the (+) terminal on the starter. The 4-gauge section of wire runs across the tranny (like the original cable) and to the distribution block on the passenger side of the car. There is a 1' section of 4-gauge wire grounding the transmission to the chassis, and a 1' section of 4-gauge wire grounding the battery to the center seatbelt lug in the back. The battery is a giant red-top Optima, secured to the trunk using a Vertex battery tray... pretty basic. The setup works great, and I've had zero problems...
