Battery give of hydrogen during charging which is very flammable. Your front bumper is the worst place to place your battery in case of accidents.
There is no problems with placing your battery in the trunk. Just use oversized wires and fuse it correctly. I recommend you fse both in the bonnet and the trunk. Use a proper distribution block in the bonnet and ensure everything is tighten correctly

you can fuse it in the trunk, under the hood and every 6 inches along the wire. It wont make a differrent. 1000000 fuses on a single wire would be the same as 1 fuse.

hoss the reason for the fuse in the bonnet and the trunk is because your batery is a source and your alternator is a source
Some vehicle the alternator is not fused so if your wire from front to back gets damaged yor battery cct breaker will trip cutting off that supply but your alternator will continue delivering power until u shut off the car or the rectifier blows

Basically it means that both battery and alternator are power sources and each should be fused separately. In the event that the +ve battery wire is breached, the battery fuse will blow but the car should still function on alternator power. OR if there is a serious problem with the alternator, THAT fuse will blow and isolate the battery so u can limp home on battery power.
I usually just run one hot wire from the batt pos to a common point in the engine bay, a distributor if you wanna call it that. Then I have all the stock wiring for the batt + meet at that point.
20 feet of 0 gauge wire
some distribution blocks
battery box

most of the information you gave on this page was wrong
if you relocating your battery in the trunk for music purpose definitely go with the 0 gauge. your wire will be a lot cooler
i would recomend over 0 gauge over 4awg for the application if u have the extra money . just remember to fuse accordingly. 4awg is aprox a hundred amp fuse 0 awg is about 250 amps
