Will this wiring diagram work for battery in trunk? please advise

[S1R-BLUNTZWORTH 10+ year member]

Should I put the positives on the batteries in parallel instead and run the + distro block only from/off of the battery in the trunk or do I have it made correctly? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Note: I know I forgot to include fusing in the diagram, but I know how to do the fuses-

Thanks guys,

Josh

why not let the battery act as the distro and get rid of it all together.

Which battery? Running 2 amplifiers- Eliminate ground?

He means get rid of the distr. blocks and run your front battery pos. to the back battery pos. Ground your amp either to the chassis or to the back battery and ground your back battery to the chassis. A run from front neg. to back neg. wont hurt either.

no keep the grounds from the batt to the frame and engine block and alt. then the back batt ground to the frame twice. then from the back batt neg. to the amps and pos. from back batt to the amps.

Like exibit a or b?

 

[Crownvicon28s 10+ year member]

More like exibit B, but get rid of the pos. distro block and take your pos. from your front battery to the pos. on your back battery and into the pos. on the amps. Use your back battery as your distro. block.

I wouldnt ground your amps to your back batt, Ground the amps to the frame rail. Get rid of distro blocks period. Get some sort of POS Batt connector like this one

you add the 0 guage on top then you have 2 4guage outputs for your amps. I fuse all mine just to be safe from the back batt to the amp. But thats my .02

basically

run your front battery positive to your back battery positive

then from your back battery run to both your amps(lose distro block)

then run the grounds from both amps back to your back battery

and make sure to ground the back battery

do not do not forget fuses (2) between batts one @ front like normal and one out back right before batt /and smaller fuses between 2nd batt and amps (not entirely nesc but big two are very nesc ) p.s. us batts as distro eliminate those blocks both

pos frm alt to frnt bat / to fuse /run through car /to nxt fuse/to rear batt/ out to amps (with or w/o optional fuses ) grnd frm alt case or engine to chasis/to neg of front batt/optional run back to 2nd batt if not / from chasis to rear batt / frm rear batt to amps

So, like Exibit C? (I forgot pre-existing ground from alt to front batt but oh well)

I decided to include fuses this time.

 

[Crownvicon28s 10+ year member]

Put a fuse between the alt. pos. and front battery pos. also. You could ground your amps to your back battery or to the chassis its up to you.

why does he need a fuse on his charging wire from alt to batt? not much chance of dead short there lol but yes grnd to batt or chassis and don't 4-get to upgrade ground from alt case/engine to chassis
