Help running a second battery and power wire.

[speedyjuarez Premium Member]

I was told by my local shop to run some more power wire (1/0) and add a second battery.

My question is how will I run my wires. Do I run 2 1/0 from my front batt to my distro block and one from the alt to the second battery?

And I have 3 fuse box things for my power wires and 1 on my big 3.

2x yellow top

Singer 275 amp alt

2x brz 2000.1

Kicker 4 channel amp

4 15s

Thanks for your help.

No^^

Run your 1/0 from your front battery positive to your rear battery positive.

Ground rear battery to frame.

Connect amps to rear battery. Don't need a D block

Ground amps to rear battery as well.

Forgot fusing. Fuse at each end of the 12+V wires. Also, the image above is what you want if you will be using a relay.

I've read I need to fuse between batteries, should I fuse between second battery to amps? Does distance of the amp to batter come into play?

I personally fuse every segment of wire. Some don't and get away with it.

12" or so from each battery and Distro blocks can be used I do. depending on how many amps you're running it sometimes helps maintain a neat install. Also if your amps don't have fusing distro's are really a must imo.
