Okay. front Pos to rear Pos. two fuses inbetween front and rear. then you ground your rear battery and thats that ? then you put a fuse from your rear battery to your amp. do you need to ground your amp also ? or can you run it to the negative term on the rear battery ? i just got an optima yellow top and im planning on running my 2000 watt amp and 15 off it. Please help. thank ya

@lntervention yup pos to pos and grnd the pattern to frame then pos to amp then ground the amp either to the frame or to the battery either will work

[Gunnedslingers1]

so u have to connect both negative terminals of the two batteries to have them operate correctely?? or can you just ground the second battery and connect just the postive terminals of the two batteries?? please help. thanks

[DrEwBaBy625]

@Gunnedslingers1 connect the 2 positives then ground the second to the frame

[coled7lan]

why do people use capacitors?? i dont see the point. and the point of cross overs

[DrEwBaBy625]

@coled7lan yeah caps are pointless. but crossovers save your tweeters. tweeters are meant for high frequencies only and any bass can blow them and distort them the crossover cuts out the lows to protect your tweeters.

@PeytonKalil881 a stock alternator can handle maybe 2000 RMS of power ( the average 120 amp alternator )

[PeytonKalil881]

Do you have an upgraded alternator? Cause if not wouldn't the little stock alternator fry out with those two battery's on it?

Really good info!

[mattman20132]

also, is it a good idea to get the same 2 batteries?



[mattman20132]

can you ground stuff in the same place?

[BDAWKTOMAHAWK]

so just ground the 2nd battery then get one power wire with a fuse on it as if it was for an amp to the original battery and then another power wire from 2nd battery with another fuse to the amp? and if i need an 80 amp fuse for my amp would i put and 80 amp fuse on both power wires or just a 40 on each one or would either way work?
