Doing a big install, need some help!!!!

[na_rsx 10+ year member]

Okay, my friend saw and heard my system and he loved it, wants me to install his system, the car is a 67 Ford Galaxy. Car is already stripped and he started the deadening already, and before we put the seats and carpet back in, i thought to my self lets run the wires and get that out of the way.

So his setup will consist of:

Sundown SAZ-3000D

Sundown SAX-100.4

(2) SSA Icon 15" D1

HO Alt

Big 3

All KnuKonceptz Wiring

Not sure what batteries or speakers

Not sure on what components to go with, and how many, but the wanted to use what he had in there. Which was a set of Pioneer 6 1/2 4-ways, and a set of Pioneer 6x9 4-ways, will, pretty much Pioneers top of the line coaxials. I know components are the best, but just curious how these will hold up.

I was thinking 2 runs or positive, fuses in all the right places. I did this sketch up in MS Paint, will this be right. Also is it better to do 2 runs of ground, or just ground the battery up front, and ground the rear one, with 2 runs to the chassis, sanded of course //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you got 2 extra fuse holders you dont need imo, you are already more than safe.

i don't think 4 fuse holders are needed for the power run..

agreed...

Just to clarify though, you want to keep the 2 after the second battery and remove the two right before the second battery because the fuses near the first battery protect that run of wire.

so basically the 2 fuses towards the end of the battery do no need to be there?

So if the wire shorts near the batt in the rear how is it protected? The fuse towards the front only protects that battery and since both supply power they both need to be fused...

So basically the setup in the picture is correct right?

The extra fuses on the rear battery run from the front, are not needed. Yeah, they'll give better protection, and a sense of security. You don't have to use them. If your buddy doesn't mind payin' the extra, have him pick the extra ones up.

There is no such thing as too many fuses in a daily driver.
