[QUOTE="bgowdy, post: 8499115, member: 632121"] 1st - With your wire, normally when people use fuses they fuse for the size of wire they are using. However we would need to know how much amp power you would be running also? If you are not running that much power, then you should fuse for the amps power ratings. 2nd - For upgrading batterys. Leave the stock battery were it is for now. A) Dont got get another lead acid battery for your stock battery location under the hood. Leave it as is for now. B) People say that different batteries can cause problems. Maybe over time but i have been doing it for about 6 years honestly now and never hada issue. Im not saying its just the right thing to do but i know tones of people who run regular batteries under hood and run AGM/deep cycle batteries in the back with out issues also. C) I would choose C and find cheap Sealed AGM or Deep cycle. Make sure what ever you get is sealed and place in the back by the amp. Again the only thing i notice is that over time the stronger battery doesnt rest as high but has always still performed well for me. D) There are plenty of options out there for batteries. You can get a new Duracell Agm Group31 battery from Sams club for under 200. You can also find Group 31 batteries in the classifieds on here for under 200. I would NOT reccomend yellow tops. They are not bad batteries, they are just high for how they perform compare to DEKAs and other batteries. If you have a O'reillys local you can get a Superstart Platium AGM for under 200 and will be better then Yellow tops and much cheaper [/QUOTE]
