Team_DC-Derrick Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 run the power wire from the batt up front, to the batt in the back, you fuse with in 18 inches of the first batt, and fuse within 18 inches of the second batt... ground your battery to a good solid ground...connect the fused power wire to the battery *2 fuses on that wire* then run a power wire from your back battery to your amp, and your done Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

The enD Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) I was wondering the same. Is my lame pic right? And how do I calculate the fuse size between the batteries? For instance if the amp has a 100A fuse Edited March 8, 2009 by The enD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundzright Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) I was wondering the same. Is my lame pic right? And how do I calculate the fuse size between the batteries? For instance if the amp has a 100A fuse you fuse to protect the wire so the fuse needs to be as big or smaller than the gauge and length of the wire. http://www.bcae1.com/fuses.htm Edited March 8, 2009 by soundzright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotloud555 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 You can even run all 3 Negative battery posts with negative wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance if the amp has a 100A fuse to ground the batts couldnt u also just run a cable from one of the batteries negative post to the other?

The enD Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 to ground the batts couldnt u also just run a cable from one of the batteries negative post to the other? Ufcourse. Run in to the chassis and in addition put some cables for better connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enemyofsilence Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 so what are relays for? is it necessary to have one when connecting two batts? Quote Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
