I originally had a 4 gauge power cable running from the engine battery to power my 50Wx4 amplifier for my front and rear stages.
Tonight, I ran a 1/0 gauge power cable to the trunk and intend on hooking that up to a trunk battery (Stinger, 300A) to hook up to an amp which will power my subs (amp and subs not yet installed). I wrapped up the end of the 1/0 gauge cable with electrical tape.
How do I properly wire the trunk battery and amp so I don't harm my car's electrical system?
Here is what I am planning on doing:
-attaching the 1/0 cable to the positive terminal of the trunk battery
-running 1/0 cable from the positive terminal of the trunk batter to the sub amp
-attaching a ground cable to the sub amp
-install subs
-listen to very loud music
Am I missing anything?
I am not anticipating doing anything with negative terminal of the trunk battery. Should I?
I am kinda flying blind here and cannot find a thread which can tell me what I should do,or any other website for that matter.
