Extra Battery install.... A guide, sort of!
From ur pics u posted u did do some wires I didn't that maybe later on ill look at swaping to a larger wire. I like ur wall most for ur amps if u have a drawing u should post it up my amp is laying on the floor lol to big to fit under set and I went with a 40 sub 40 so I have 1 12 in the middle. But if ur pushing 2400 RMS to those 2 10s must be loud. I figure with my current setup I might be pushing 1500 RMS which is no where near my 12s limit.
The subs (2) are seeing a little over 600 each. I try not to run at max capacity, its already enough to deafen me.
So tecnincally, I am running about 1800-2000 watts. But with plenty of power to spare on the Rockford amp.

Like my 12 has around a 3500 RMS never could hit it ha my amp just doesn't pack the power to move a 440 oz magnet very good lol it will at a half ohm but I just watch the drops in volts and its bad and my amp begins to over heat but its a site to see it move. I have one of those 3 foot audiobahn chrome flame amps model number I don't know off the top of my head

Be forwarned the second starter relay you instald is not rated for continuas duty and will burn out in a short time if you wire it to remain on with the ignition. they make continuas duty relays for use in RV systems for about the same money. and the factery 130amp alt. is more than sufficiant maintain both batterys unles you are trying to run a winch [which would probably over heat any way before you killed both batterys] so a second battery is only good for sustaind load engine off and not worry about startingt type of operation.
