[QUOTE="LetMyBeatPound, post: 8629136, member: 673630"] Yea I talked to a guy on the phone, he said to put some 300a fuses.(I met him when i bought my alt from Nate) Set up is: 300amp hairpin alt about 200+ @ idle. 3 1/2 ft between these Group 31 start battery 65aH 8ft between these w/ 200a fuse at both ends 2x Parralleled Power Sonic 100aH Gel batteries About 3ft to the amp with a fuse midway on power Ground follows the power wire all the way back to the Alternator. Was suggested to double my ground from the amp, one to the frame, one to the rear Batts. Add another ground to the frame from the rear Batts. Upgrade fuses to 300 amp. And yea for the most part I have it blasting every where I go lol... I only keep it down when my girl is with me cuz she don't like it too much. I'm trying to clamp test it's watts and amp draw right now [/QUOTE]
