I don't know how to hook it up but I assume you know that you have to get an optima battery cause an ordinary battery puts out toxic fumes

Yes, hook it up like a capacitor. Positive from front battery to positive on rear battery. Ground rear battery to frame and hook amp to positive and negative on rear battery. If you plan to listen to music at parties or with the car not running you may want to look at isolators.

Marcus,

you dont need a battery. i have seen many systems runnin on 1200 with 130a and do perfectly fine. remember, adding the battery really doesnt do anythng unless you got a big enough alternator to support it
