Question Relocated battery?

Hmmm, so was thinking about how I'm going to do my stereo (And decinding if I'm gonna upgrade to a yellowtop battery), and got to wondering if anyone has relocated the battery to the trunk? That big piece of styrofoam doesn't seem to be doing too much back there, and it seems like shifting a bit more weight to the back (although it'd be on the driver's side :P) might be helpful.

So, anybody done it? Would've posted this in the stero section, but I figure someone else may or may not have done it for performance reasons, too.. Any disadvantage to it, other than having to run a fat cable back there (which I gotta do for the amps anyway) and finding a way to mount it?

thought about doing it on my Prelude before, but don't think we need that for the Z, since the stock weight distribution is very good already~

Just get a lighter/smaller battery and be done with it. (odyssey)

Hmm, so nobody has done it, huh? I figure moving it to the back will also be better for the battery itself, since it won't be exposed to so much heat. All I need is a battery compartment and cut some of the styrofoam back there away....
