yeah I wondered about that....isn't it just 1500, 2000, 3000 and 3500 Ds?

Edit: Dc, go with the largest battery that can fit under your hood.

i believe so. ok so battery type(size) dont matter, bigger = better?

You would run a wire from the rear battery positive to the amp. then ground the amp

is theyre anything else i should know like unhook the stock battery before hooking up the back batt or unhook the alt when upgrading wires to and from batt or anything like that?

add the extra battery in the back and upgrade the front battery later. this way you have 2x the battery power. i would recomend running the battery grounds to eachother instead of to the chassis. but itll work either way.

for your amps. just run a negitive and a positive from the rear battery to the amp. putting another fuse on the + wire that runs to the amp is a good idea.

dont worry about your questions. we were all where you are at one point.

thanks man.. so your saying i could hook the ground on the amp right up to the neg on the batt? is this better? so two fuses in between both batts on pos. and on in between amp and back batt? this is great info and i think i am almost ready to go thanks everyone for your help if theyre is anything else you thin k i should know let me know

no... not really. just keep a close eye on you + wires. whenever you unhook them on one end, and the other end is connected to a battery, tape up any metal on the unhooked end. dont just trust that it wont touch metal. dont be afraid of sparks. it will happen. connect the + wire 1st then the ground.

yes this is better. this way is goes straight to the battery instead of through the wire, into the chassis, up to the front, through the front battery ground.

remember, 12v isnt enough to run through your body. you will be safe, just make sure not to short out anything in the car.
