[QUOTE="Trixter, post: 2061943, member: 542668"] the fuse under the hood by the battery is not to protect the amp, but to protect the wire coming off the battery in case it ever got cut somehow and arced, the fuse would pop. i would imagine that your amp has a built in fuse, right? if it does, that's what protects the amp and you would be ok in simply swapping the fuse for a larger one. i don't see a reason to get a new holder and all that. just get a few larger fuses (100a, 120a, 140a, 160a) they are only a few$$ each. to install a battery in the trunk just connect the two + together and ground it somewhere in the trunk. like i talked about before with the fuse thing, for the battery protection, you will want two fuses on the + wire, one at each battery to protect it from either direction.
