[QUOTE="Gauntlet, post: 98713, member: 545529"] Use a 0/1 gauge wire from the battery with a fuseholder within 12 inches of the battery, id recommend a 150 or 200 amp ANL fuse. Wire it to a distro block in the back, and run three separate 4 gauge wires to each of the amps. Do the same for the ground wire, wiring it to a piece of bare metal on your chassis instead of the battery. Make sure to scrape/sand the metal area thoroughly so the wire is touching bare metal and nothing else. You don't need a second battery, but if you did get one, remember youd have to recharge it every 6 hours or so. You could easily get by with a better battery (check out Optima batteries) and using a higher output alternator. Youre running a lot of power, a h/o alternator is going to be a necessity. good luck [/QUOTE]
