[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8765901, member: 591582"] All you gotta do is hook it up like it's another battery. Optimally, I suggest you run fuses with 12" or so of the + wire coming off any battery going in any direction. So, you'd want to fuse the second battery + wire going to the front battery on both ends, and you'd want to fuse the + going from the second battery to the amps. I had 3 group 31's in the back of my Exploder with 4 runs of 0 gauge (2+/2-), and I had 4 250 amp fuses between the front battery and the rear bank on the 2 power wires, then I had 3 fuses on each power wire going to each amplifier. It was a lot of fuses, but my truck never burned down. [/QUOTE]
