I am planning on installing a second fuse box and placing under the driver seat. I will then run my amps, subs and cathodes through that. Then from there to a separate battery that will be mounted in the back someplace.
Anybody ever done anything like this? I don't know where I can get a fuse box at or what's involved with getting it wired up.

Any help would be appreciated.

First think of a battery isolator that way it will charge when running and shut off when the power gets to low allowing enough power to start the car.

I am installing a secon battery in the back of the car. so if it gets low it won't matter my main battery will still be able to start the car ( unless I am mistakin and this setup won't work ). I will still look at the battery isolator though, always nice to have jus incase...

 

If you run the batterys in parallel it will draw from both and kill them both unless you catch it in time.

You *are* planning on upgrading your alternator in case you're charging both batteries at once, right?

 

Hmm, I never thought of upgrading... Good point. For now I've had to shelve the idea, not enough money with christmas coming.

I did this - I have a box under my driver seat, just like what you are saying...
