[QUOTE="c_hayhurst, post: 5358130, member: 555043"] ^^ 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. [/QUOTE]
