uumm you probably have blown some fuses and stuff.. worst case scenario is you fried the computer.. have you tried to start it yet?

okay i setup the new battery correctly using a small 3inch 4gauge extension..everythings right now under the hood but my car doesn't start..the door lights aren't on my HU isn't starting just the rpm and fuel gauges and stuff on hte dash light up..and of course my car doesn't start...im charging the new battery right now to see if somehow it juiced it out which isn';t really possible so if someone could let me know what i did and what fuses and such are blown and if anything more serious has occured. thanks

Good thing the fuse caught the problem before it fried the computer, that could get quite expensive I imagine...
