Wiring My Car, Questions., 2 batts/3, one under the hood, and an

[rumproast789 0]

I have 2 of the same type of batts, then another one of a diff brand. The 2 have like 80 something a/h and hold like 1000 amps or something, and then the one has 100 or so a/h and like 1200 amps of storage. Stock battery from what I know up front, 200 amp alt, and I will be putting in a Audioque 2200d (unless I find a more powerful one for a better price).

I have 2/0 welding cable, a good amount. I was planning on doing the big 3 with this, then wire from the positive battery under the hood to the batteries in the back. I can't decide which setup to use, the 2 batts, single batt, or like all 3?

Would it be better to run negative and a postive to the back?

All I need for the back is to connect the positive and negative on each battery together or does one need to be grounded?

What size fuses should I use, the amp requires 200 amp fuse. 200 all around? or 150, then a 200 before the batts, and another before the amp? I dont need to fuse all batteries right?

Last one, negative on the amp to the battery or ground?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get it right.

If something didn't make sense, just say something!

IF someone has a good place to buy fuses for a good price let me know.
