No, no, no. Its 3 runs..not 12. U will have 3+ and 3- wires from ur front battery to the rear of ur car. Just like u have it drawn up. U have 2-big amps and 1 small amp. U take 1+ and 1- from the last battery (whatever size wire ur amplifier's manual suggests with a 300amp ANL) and hook it up to 1 of the big amps. Then u take another + and - wire with a 300amp ANL do the same for the other big amp and then u'll probably only need 4guage for the small amp with a 100amp ANL. Not trying to be funny but u keep asking the same questions over and over. Just read. U have it drawn up correct. Its 3 runs not 12 runs. Look at the picture u have drawn. That is 3 runs. U have 3+ wires and 3- wires to ur batteries. SO...... ITS..... 3..... RUNS......NOT....... 12.

i didnt mean 12 runs off i meant there'll be a total of 12 on the front battery,6 off the alternator and 6 comin off the battery into the back,thats what i was askin,sorry i prolly worded it funny,but i still dont get how to put all them on the battery,i kno about the end loops but as far as fitting all them on one battery terminal i dont get that,anybody got pics of how to do it,

Most battery terminals have a screw on the side or either on top. U know how u would put a washer onto a bolt and screw the nut down on top of the bolt.....same senario except instead of a washer ur using ring terminals at the end of the wires and u do it the same way. Once u get ur stuff and start installing it, u'll see how easy and simple it is. Different people have different methods of doing it, u'll just have to figure a way that is comfortable and what works for u...but Thats how Id do it.

use a nut between eachrun so you can make sure they stay tight
