raytard Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 [bat] +....- |.....| +....- [amp] k? the positive to positive, the negative to negative, with wires of a proper gauge run 0g from the front battery positive to the rear battery positive, run the rear battery negative to either a good chassis ground or the front batt negative (and do the big 3) chassis ground is 10x easier Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takenotes101 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 ok, so + on front batt to + on rear batt to amp then - on rear batt to ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raytard Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) +[batt]-===CHASSIS | | +[rear batt]-===CHASSIS |_________| +[amplifier]- there, updated diagram, hope it helps and yes, + to + to +, -'s to -s or ground (which is negative by definition), its called parallel, it keeps everything at a constant voltage. http://www.bcae1.com/ read through that site if youre going to be doing car audio stuff by yourself, it gives alot of the basics, terminology and formulas you use with electronics/acoustics/car audio Edited February 4, 2009 by raytard Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takenotes101 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 so something like this? id only need a fuse between the 2nd batt and the amp right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobonit Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 so something like this? id only need a fuse between the 2nd batt and the amp right? You also need to ground that amp either to chassis or to the negative terminal on the battery in the trunk. You should also fuse the 1/0 wire that goes from hood to trunk. Put a fuse within 18 inches of the battery on each end of the cable. so one fuse under the hood and one under the trunk. That way if that cable gets pinched and you ground that baby out, it won't start your car on fire.
