NO, front to back batts need to be fused at BOTH ends...

with ONE fuse, he needs TWO, one at each end. Both batts give off current, so if one length of wire shorts it will pop the fuse, but the rest of the wire to the other batt is still live

Yea ive never done that if a fuse pops on the main power run between batts the whole wire is dead unless it comes free from the fuse holder

Another question I was thinking about getting a PAC-200 200 Amp Power Relay. Is that necessary. Im running to 15s and a 2900 rms amp
