+ wire from the front batter to the rear (fused ofcourse) and then you can ground the battery to a good spot in the trunk or do another run of - wire from the front battery (not necessary to be fused)

dude stop making threads! just pm me ok!

but serious...... you really only need one run of 1/0 from the positive batt up front to the pos. on the back batt then ground the back batt to the cars chasis... or u can do a run of 1/0 pos. and one run of 1/0 neg. front to back back to front. u get!

if the + from the front, goes to the pos in the trunk, where does the power wire of the amp go to?

I never understood fusing in between batteries.

but yeah, what he said, minus the fusing.

I always feel safer doing so. It doesnt hurt asfar as I know. I always thought that if a short happen in the wire that it will travel to the nearest battery and if its not fused then it CAN blow up your battery..
