LED wiring help

I've never really worked with LED strips like this before, so im looking for some guidance. these will be ran in the box of my truck, and maybe underneath my seats/dash.

Im sure this is pretty simple, but i just want to make sure so i dont mess anything up. I was just going to piggyback a shitload of these, run the positive and the negative to one of my batteries, then drop a toggle switch on the positive lead.

Anything else i should do? Should i fuse?

Here's what the LED strips look like, each strip has two positive and two negatives coming off of it, a positive input and output, a negative input and output.

I was hoping to just put a toggle switch on the positive side, then just make big loops for the positive and negatives (battery connection, run the LED's, than bring the other side back to the same battery connections)

will that work?

don't make a complete loop. go batt fuse switch + in and ground the - in. then the outs are for the extras you want to hook up and just make sure the end gets taped off.
