multiple runs of power and ground?

[ryanrj828]

Hello all,

Ill be running a skar 4500.1 at 1 ohm and im curious about how to run multiple runs of wire. Obviously the first power wire is run from the front battery fused twice in between. But for the second wire do I also run it from the front battery, or straight from the alternator to the back battery bank? Also for running 2 grounds how do i go about this? Never had a build of this power, usually i just ground it in the trunk.

Thank You

Run a couple of power wires from front to rear battery bank then run power wures from amp to bank... same for grounds but do 2 more runs of grounds to frame for a total of 6

Also fuse both ends of power wire from front battery to rear batteries. and just one fuse on each power wire to amp

My rule of thumb, for every power wire ran from front battery bank to bank battery bank match them with a ground from front bank to back bank. then wire from the back bank to the amp, and make a few grounds from the back bank to the vehicle.
