is this right? i have battery box in the trunk one wire coming off the negative grounded to chassis. wire coming off positive split by an inline fuse then running under the floor, up behind the dash and and through the fire wall and to a 200amp circuit breaker ( other wires starter/alternator are connected to the other side of the CB) gotta get my battery charged before i can start it up and just wanted to make sure my set up is good first

Sounds about normal to me

Looks about right, but why did you use a fuse and circuit breaker? You only need one of them if any.

why the hell do you have a fuse and CB like dude said above me???

take out the fuse, just use the CB

because i got a moroso wire set and the negative and positive wire come as a double ended wire that you cut in half because the kit assumes you have a kill switch i guess. so you have to connect the cut wire coming off the positive to the wire you have running to the front so i just threw an inline fuse in between to make the connection and as a saftey precaution and a cb in the front cause it makes that connection easy too. i can still change it so is running both a bad idea if so let me know and tell me what to do instead

just leave it the way it is, its better to be safe than sorry. theres no down side to running a fuse at the battery and a CB in the front.

I use a double battery (single load) setup very similar to yours, and I'll take the fuse over the CB any day, but whatever - some people like their breakers. The one tip I will share is to make SURE your ground in the back is fantastic, or everything will get very hot. Drill a hole in something other than the trunk floorpan and the body (I used the wheel well I think) and screw a lead battery terminal in there, and use battery terminal connectors and 4 GA wire at least. The cleaner the install the better, and make sure the battery can't move around and touch the posi lead/wire/terminal on anything in the trunk
