new battery, need layout! (PICS INSIDE)

an 800 is good for about 800 watts with your system tribe i think the 1400 would be a better choice.
http://www.kinetikaudio.com/manuals/khccells.pdf for more info and page 8 has a diagram on propper hook up.

Yeah I saw the 1400, but Im on a very tight budget and the cheapest I found it for was $210 shipped, I found the 800 for $130 shipped, also I found out my Alt is 180amps, plus I got the Red Top already, so maybe the 800 would be good also? I appreciate the info alot bro. You know where I can buy 1/0 wire cheap?

lol youd be cutting it close ...gonna make me do some math? 180 amp alt is a plus so is the other battery im not trying to "bend" anything just want to make sure you dont run into problems. just watch the back battery after heavy use if it changes shape or feels hot it would be time to upgrade or add another 800 which will be fine

You can use it for whatever you'd like, but it's not very pliable compared to most car audio wiring because of the low strand count...
