God I hate stereo crap. So necessary, but I fawking hate it.

I've got two amps to run, speakers and sub. I've got dual batteries, with a perko switch.

Now here are my questions:

1) My batteries currently share a ground. One battery ground to the other battery's ground, and then the boat ground. 5ft apart. Is this okay for this setup?

2) For power, I'm going to go with 0/1 gauge from the batteries to the perko, and then from the perko to a power distribution block for the amps. From there I'd like to keep running 0/1 guage (if I buy it in bulk). Will that work or do I need to go to 2 or 4-gauge. The amps call for 4-gauge max.

3) I'm thinking I need to put a fuse right off the battery, before the perko switch. But am not sure how big. A syn-6, and a Syn-1, plus the boat pull.

4) Where in the hell can you mount two amps in a Saltare? I barely have enough room for a Syn-6.


Am I thinking of doing this right? Or should I go about this a different way? I'm stereo stupid, won't hurt my feelings.
