[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5644025, member: 601690"] Since you have that Batcap 200 in the trunk, you should be grounding directly to the battery and then ground the battery to the chassis. That chassis ground should be as short as needed, but since you should be using 1/0 wire, and extra foot or two would not make any difference. No, not using 1/0. It would take more wire than the length of your car to make any measurable difference in voltage. That 2000 should be enough to run that stuff as long as your alt it healthy. The front battery is not going to help much. 12.8v on your 2000 is fully charged. 12.6v on your front battery is fully charged. You need to remove the NEG- connections from you battery to check this. Like I have told you in any of your other 200 posts, keep them the same if you want to run more than 1. I think you are seeing the quality of the Batcap battery first hand however. [/QUOTE]
