[QUOTE="SSon22s, post: 2878312, member: 557026"] Well I decided to pick up a yellow top for the trunk since my dimming has been bad, I have already ran a 2/0 from stock battery to amp in the trunk and also have upgraded 1/0 on Big 3...I DO NOT play my system with the car off just when driving around or running...I have already kind of planned it out how I want to add the 2nd battery, just wondering if its right....I have a 2/0 running from stock battery to my cap, then to my amp, I am planning on disconnecting it from the cap and running the 2/0 to a dist block, then from the dist block to the new battery, then from the new battery to the amp...Do I have to have a fuse between the Dist Block and the new battery and then another fuse between the new battery and my amp? I was also wondering if I should ground the new amp to the Strut mount in the trunk or if I can ground it to the seatbelt bolt under the seat? The battery is going behind the rear taillight so the strut bolts would be a shorter ground...Do you think leaving the stock battery up front (car is an 04 Impala so battery isnt that old) and adding a yellow top in the trunk is even going to help me?
