[QUOTE="Lawilt, post: 6822781, member: 622303"] Thanks, exactly the feedback i wanted. My amps are fused and within one foot of the distro blocks so I'll do away with breakers on the amp lines. I'm planning to use a breaker(s) for the main power line from batteries to distro block. Total amps my amplifiers are fused for = 280 amps. If I run 2 0awg power lines from the batts do I use 2 breagers that are say 150 amps each? What awg wire should I use for communication between the batteries? Should it also be 0awg or could I get away with 4awg between batteries and 0awg out to distro blocks? I am planning tho use the large battery bank just to power the stereo. It will most often be charged by running a charger on it at home. Some charging might be accomplished whil wakeboarding but the majority will be from shore power. I am attaching a quick schematic of how I imagine the set up looking. I don't have the breakers or the dual power lines to the amps shown but I plan to include them in my build. with this set up I imagine I can run the boat off switch 2 and simultaneously run the stereo off of bank one, keeping the two systems seperate unless I switch it to 1&2 to charge the stereo batts while underway.
