That's how mine is wired.

Edit, Except I don't see a fuse between amps and batteries.

You only need 1 run of 0 to the trunk, unless you are going to draw ~300A+

Ground your batteries in the trunk and hook the amps directly to your batteries as pictured.

Why wouldn't u link the first battery run to the second battery so they all have 2 runs?? don't u want the last one???

Don't need it in that short of a run. Thats just a jumper.

No...

Grounding to the batteries is better than grounding it to the trunk.

And OP: If you plan on keeping these batteries close, there's been a flurry of copper bars on the forum for pretty cheap. You should snatch two or four. FOR TEH UBARNESS.

Yea but i would hate to run another 2 runs of 0 gauge, and whats the advantage of copper bars vs. 0 gauge wringing?
