Dbforlife Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hey.. this might be a dumb question but i did my big 3 already and have 2 yellowtops, i have at least 20ft extra of 1/0 guage knukonceptz kolossus flex so i put my fuse in (close to starter batt) ran it to backseat all hidden to 2nd yellowtop, and havent put the ring terminals on yet b/c they are TOO SMALL for the battery posts (ontop).. i can link them to the side, but id really hate to b/c my 4 ch. is going on the side posts, along with my crescendo 3k amps.. so do i just drill the ring terminals to make them fit the top posts??? or go with the soon-to-be crouded sides..?

MrSkippyJ Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 KnuKonceptz battery terminal you only mentioned one fuse, i hope you have a fuse near each battery.

I just got a battery terminal and put the ring terminal under the bolt of the batt terminal. might not be what people would say is good but it works good for me Quote "WHOEVER SAID MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS MUST OF BEEN BROKE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbforlife Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 KnuKonceptz battery terminal you only mentioned one fuse, i hope you have a fuse near each battery. you only need one 300amp fuse i thoguth from battery to battery? i only ordered 3 300amp fuses, 1 for crescedo power wire-batt, 1 for battery to battery, and 1 for the wire i havent ran yet (alt to battery, aka. only wire i havent ran yet for big 3) and second.. uhm should i order 2 of those? so i can use my ground wire on the top post of the rear seat batt. too? i just goit my friggen knu order in last week and ill have to do another one.. so i might just stick it on side posts...lol Quote 1998 GMC Jimmy 4 Dr. -SINGER 275 Amp Alternator -150 FT.

David711 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 yes get 2 top terminals and wire your ground of battery to somewhere in the back of the car and then wire your amp to the side. then you'll have the top for the power and ground for the batt and the side for your amps power and ground. thats how i have mine set up except more than 1 batt but same concept.

It isn't worth burning your car down to have tunes sooner. hmm kk, im just going with what my friend said to do (owns car audio shop here) and hes only got 2 kinetiks and he only has 1 300amp fuse thats close to the starter battery, but what does the 2nd fuse do thats close to the rear seat battery? doesnt the current draw from alt-starter batt (300amper there), then starter-rear seat (1 fuse there)? then to the amps, but they have their own fuses.

If you don't put a fuse near your rear battery you have a whole length of wire that is unprotected. The physical location in the car has nothing to do with a battery needing a fuse or not. If you need a fuse near a battery in the front, you need a fuse near a battery in the front. Adding fuses will hurt nothing, but not having a fuse can destroy everything. Be safe when adding batteries, wait for a second fuse.
