2 batteries

[Fender5 10+ year member]

ha yeah. im going to use a 1/0 gauge wire to run from the main battery to the back. fuse that. then 1/0 grounds.

and then 4 gauge to the amps. fused as well.

is there a reason to ground the amp to the battery? i like that, looks cleaner. just didnt kno u could

it is a much better ground....you have to ground your batt to the frame or your front batt too tho

should the fuse be closer to the first battery?

or second.

im thinkin first so if anything happens, it'll cut off right there, right?

 

[Fender5 10+ year member]

okay.

so can i run 3 power wires from the battery.

and then ground 2 amps and the ground for the battery to the same back battery as well.

it'll be 1 from batt under hood to one in trunk

then 2 power wires to each amp.

the same for grounds

Two fuses....on the same power line. 18" or closer between each battery. Then obviously another fuse between the 2nd battery and amp.

let mee know if you change your mind and want an NSB125, I can try to get you a deal on shippign if you really are itnerested... probably equal to about... 4 of those kinetiks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

alright, can i ground 2 amps on the same battery and power 2 amps from teh same battery. just hook it straight to it without any power distrib blocks.

How about an optima yellow top?

i was going to run 0g from the 1st battery, fuse it, near the 1st, and put it on pos of second battery.

0g ground from the 2nd battery neg to frame.

and then i was going to run 0g ( fused after the second battery) to a 1 farad cap, then to a dis block, that will take the 0g and run 2 4g wires to the amps. then run 2 4 guage amp grounds to a dist. block, then 1 0g out to the cap, and from there grounded to the 2nd battery that will be grounded to the frame. sound good or dumb?

how short should it be? wouldn't it be bad to have the second batt close to the amps and stuff? (to keep it under 3 feet)
