MaxDB Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 You would run a wire from the rear battery positive to the amp. then ground the amp Quote 2000 ford taurus SE 24v DOHC Doors: MachAudio Stock System Subwoofer: 18" WMD D2 4.8cft @ 35hz Amp: Hifonics Bxi 1210D Amp Wire:4/0 gauge power wire to amp Alt: Stock Alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlesRgood Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 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.
