Trunk mounted battery

For you guys that are running a trunk mounted battery, how did you route the battery cable from the rear to the front? I would prefer not to drill holes (except for the obvious one in the trunk floor) for straps to secure the cable.

I ran t along the fram rail and lip under the car and it came in under the rear seats. Take the cshio off and there is a lot of space. It then ran along the indie plastic totaly unseen. My kit came with a plug to prevent water from coming in.. No problems 2 year later..

Did you all use a sealed battery or sealed battery box?
