bigaltexas Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 well in your case, run the positive back to your rear battery with your fuses on it. then your negative from your front battery to a good ground in the rear. and then from that same ground location run it to the negative on your rear batt. and then from your rear batt, positive to positive on the amp, and negative on the battery to the negative on the amp. or you can just do the first plan, and go front battery positive, to rear battery positive and front battery negative to rear battery negative, and then from the rear batt, positive to amp positive, negative rear batt to negative on the amp. just remember to fuse. im sure wed all hate to watch our vehicles go down in flames or ruin your equipment just over a simple step.

shake n bass Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 big 3 is alt to postive on battery. negative on battery to engine and than to fram. leave stock wires there though. more grounds to engine to frame is best cuz thats only grounds with engine cuz motor mounts are ruber and not contected. i always run like 4 or so grounds to frame to engine. sometimes big 3 dont do much but help on keep voltage up when hitting low notes.

If so, that would be part of your BIG 3 setup... Yes If you mean negative to alternator case, some do some don't... some cannot find it... Like me...
