[QUOTE="dennit469, post: 5222145, member: 585423"] few questions... why have 2 fuses if running in parallel, (one at front batt and one at rear batt)? what size fuses are yall using on these? whats the purpose of an isolator? does it really only let you drain the battery that you have all your system equipment ran to, in my case the rear battery? can i just ground the rear battery to the chassis and not run it up to the front? if i were to get another battery should i put the older one in the rear and the new one up front because of the voltage differences and one trying to charge another? i got a stock 140 amp alt, should it hold up alright? by the way, in the end my system setup will be 2 pr 1000's powering 2 18's and some either 2 or 4 channel amp powering some door speakers. havent decided on coaxls or something different yet. input is always nice. im planning it to be around 2400-2600 watts altogether, ive also noticed that the memphis amps like to eat up some power. i was just running 1 with a shitty comp vr15 and it seemed to have a nice voltage drop when it hit. i had a kenwood amp before but it didnt do this or at least as bad.
