you would run a 2ga from the front to back and then use a fused distribution block in the trunk to split it.

I've got a 140 amp alternator, 4-gauge power wire, big three, and an optima yellow top. No dimming with 1300 watts.

caps, are personal preference. I personally dont like them and will never use one. Others are fans of them and have no problem using them.

Personally, I think they are a band-aid to another problem, which is noramally a weak electrical system.
