If you're referring to the install wiring, it was the easiest part of the install. There are 3 wires, two of them go to the alt stud and the other is a ground.

If you're wanting to know about my overall wiring, I plugged the vehicle in to the old high output alt and ran 0 ga wiring from it to the stock battery( also did the big 3). That's the end of that alt story.

The second alt only runs my car audio. I have 1 CnD 100 AH battery (soon to be XS d3400) under my hood and 2 XS XP3000s in the back. I have 2 runs of positive and 2 runs of negative 0ga from the back batteries to my audio battery under the hood. I also did the big 3 on the audio battery under the hood. All of this for 2 Sundown 1500s.

Hopefully that answers your ?, if not, let me know.

ok i got a few more questions
1) you said you did 2 runs from the back to the batt under the hood.... is that right?
2) why 2 runs is that for more current flow?
3) are your rear audio batts connected to the front batt?

i know some of these questions are real dumb but i just need some clarity thanks

Yep, I have 2 runs of Pos & Neg. It helps with current flow. Definitely overkill for the amps I have in here now, but when I was running bigger amps, there was a noticeable improvement in my system voltage.

3) are your rear audio batts connected to the front batt?

Yep, The batteries I have under the hood are the only components I have actually grounded to the frame, everything else is powered from the batteries/grounded to the batteries (including the back batteries to the front battery). It keeps me from having to search my truck with a DMM looking for a good ground. Also consolidates my connection points and eliminates any chance for ground loops.

I know this is old but I want to do this but with probably two dc 320 alts together Gibsonm21 can you pm me your number so I can contact you on this matter?
