[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 5849307, member: 541383"] fuse as close to the batteries to prevent current from reaching areas on a shorted lead. Lets say you short out your power wire via the fire wall you would want the front fuse to blow as close to the battery as possible and the same for the rear fuse for the back battery. It will cut off the juice so fires are less likely to happen. In all cases fusing the pos power leads within 18"of each battery is a must. Some will say not too but if it ever caught fire I would find it hard to believe any insurance company would cover it due to the lack of proper fusing for saftey. Also would be a good idea to use an agm type battery in the back. Brands of agm batteries are Kinetik, optima, odyssey and there is many many more. [/QUOTE]
