srry dont mean to thread jack but i was wondering well i have a kinetik 1800 as my rear battery and im wondering is it safe to take the terminals out the battery replace them with screws to attach my wires to the battery...

he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick:

Unless the terminals actually are attached via screw in?

Since no one is answering this I will....

If it were me I would put a fuse at the front batt, one right before the second batt (its over kill but why not be safe??) And then one after your second batt going to the amp

Then for grounding you can ground it to the frame, or what I would do is run a second wire from your batt in the front. You would do this to make sure that you have the best ground possible. also if you do end up having a second run of wire to the back I would still put another ground to the frame

Hope this helps and I answered everything!
