The head unit should already have a fuse somewhere in the wiring harness. You also need fuses on the + power cords coming off the batteries. Unless you have more components to wire, that should be all you need. All of your components, active or passive, have fuses.

Since you are going to use 3 batteries, I assume you have a fairly complicated system that will demand a lot from the cars electrical system. You want to make sure things like the alternator, voltage reg, and anything similar, are high quality. Getting that setup correct will insure that you have less problems down the road.

Pretty much that's the way to be safe, though most people count a bank of batteries as 1 battery, use bus bars and only fuse the longer runs out (to the front or to the amps).

I'm looking at the same idea with 7 batteries. I found these battery terminal fuses that I think make it clean and easy. Check them out at Wholesale Marine or Amazon.

if you put hte batteries close and isolate them from shorting out to the body no. I wouldn't waste my time with it..

also you only ground close to the power source. AKA close to the battery..

Yeah, fusing between batteries is the safest, but I just treat my bank as one battery

That looks right ..as long as the batteries are next to each other there shouldn't be any problems

i don't think u need fuse before the battery overkill, so u could leave those 2 off
