The Grey foam thing in the well is the pad under the spare tire.

The wire on the left side of the trunk is speaker wire that connects the sub to the amp mounted on the underside of the rear deck. Tricky wiring required

Moving the battery to the trunk would improve the supply regulation for your audio
system ;-) You'd have less wiring resistance to drop voltage across if you battery was in the trunk wit da bumps :-P Not to mention better front to rear weight distribution.

mine is in the trunk.... its not a bad idea and it is a good place for the battery
if you ever get a dead battery with your car facing in with cars next to you... it makes jump starts much easier.
You also move about 1% of the cars weight to the rear, improving f/r weight distribution.
it also frees up space to mount one of my front strut tower braces
Its not that hard to do really... 2 hours or so and its done.
The brackets are easy to make and you just buy a marine battery box from GheyMart or Walmart and put the battery in there. The bracket is a $5 piece of aluminum stock from homodepot... 4 holes drilled in the well for rivets... put wood behind the metal when drilling or have a spotter or just be careful so you dont poke your fuel tank. I was careful and I had no problems.... did it like 30 secs before I drove down to H20 in MD.
