I've been doing some research on ways to run the wiring for the battery relocation to the passenger side hatch area. My head hurts from all of the different diagrams I've seen... There are so many different ways to do it and I think I have it narrowed down.
Being that my car is a 93, it came with a factory mini starter, so it has a solenoid on the starter itself as well as a starter solenoid on the driver side inner fender. I'm also running an electric water pump and contour fans, so I'm going to have quite a bit of juice flowing.
The relocation box is already mounted and the ground off of the battery is currently going into one of the quad shock mount holes. I will also have a ground going all the way to the front to the block.
I started with this diagram for more of a general idea as far as how everything connects and flows:

I think out of all the diagrams though, this one looks the best to me:

One of my questions is what is the advantage of relocating the starter relay to the rear of the car?
If I do end up going that route, I plan on mounting it similar to this:

Joe was going to do my relocation at first but haven't heard from him. He had me buy two of these power junction blocks like found in this article:

So if I use that second diagram, the power distribution blocks would serve as the fuse box correct?
Do the cable sizes, relays and fuses appear to be the correct size I should get?
