  14. I have front and trunk batteries in parallel and want to know how to charge them together without taking them out of the car if its possible. I don't want to just hook charger up while everything else is connected and burn out an amp or anything else electrical in the car. But if its safe to do it then that would help instead of going through the whole routine of taking each one out and doing them one at a time.

    Hi Guys, A friend of mine needs to finish the big3 in his car. He's wondering how to put the wire between alt to batt. From stock, there is a wire coming from the + of the alternator, going to the starter(démareur in French !) And this same wire goes to the + batt after the starter. So, the question is : can we just put a wire between the alt and the batt without hooking it to the starter ? Or do we have to follow the stock wiring ? Waiting for you, all the experts, please!!!

    I need to choose an amp for a pair of Maw-15's I was thinking the Sundown-1000D. Seems like it would work good being when I wire both subs into it. The Rms wattage would split and it would be powering the MAw-15's to their full RMS which I know isnt everything but ya know. Any Input. Thanks in Advance for all the help.
