mxman38 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I know this picture is drawn up in 5 min. but is this safe to do.... i didnt add fuses in between them all but, they will be there The top battery is under the hood *yellow top* The 2 batteries in the back are the Kinetics Just wondering if it will be safe/good idea, or should i ground both batteries in the back. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpindemlowzz Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) One Run + one - is what i would do then ground them in the back and add fuses after each batt.

Boomin660 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 if it were me i would ground both in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehoe92 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 positive from front battery to positive on back battery with fuse like you said. then from the battery in the back positive to positive on the amp. you can ground the amp to the battery negative and then the battery negative to the chassis. if you want to have a more direct route with a better flow of current do another run from the front negative to the back negative. its not necessary if you don't have a huge system though. what are you running?

thehoe92 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 start a buss bar if you have so many grounds. if you have that many grounds you should probably have just about as many power on another buss bar.

mxman38 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 so ur saying i can ground my amps to the Neg. on the battery, then ground the batteries? im only grounding 3 small amps then my sub amp. I just have limited room and im using a bolt through the bottom of my truck, i think its a JL audio ground, it was expensive, i just dont want to use a seat bolt or anything ghetto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehoe92 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I have mine going from the amp negative to the the battery negative. then from there a short piece going to the chassis. I cannot say that it will work for you as I only have a 1500 watt sub amp not 3 separate amps.
