I used a 3 way distribution block to connect the 2 gauge wire from thr trunk, to the 4 gauge going to the alternator and another 4 gauge going to the fuse block.
You can see it here,
2 gauge coming into the bottom, and splits out to alternator on left and fuse block on right.

Nice setup Adam.
Mine was simpler lol. I ran the two gauge wire from the battery to the back of the starter and then ran another six guage wire from the same location on the starter to the UHFB. Basically following where the oem red wire path (from UHFB to battery and to starter) was previously.
After removing the oem red wire I then removed the black ground wire since I did not want the black neg battery terminal wire hanging in the bay. I simply rigged up a nice two gauge ground wire from the large trans bolt to the frame by the UHFB.

I just cut the stock cable and put those ends on them that let you put a bolt threw them....then bolted the three cables together and taped the shit out of the union. It works pretty well considering it was done pretty ghetto.
I like that union block though, looks pretty simple and clean.-6S Resident Mechanical Forensics member #001.
