Savvyav, very nice ride. 35" MTZ's will soon be going on mine as well, on black Cepek DC-1's. Do you have any pics of your "big 3" wiring?
The Memphis Mojo amplifier is a Class D amplifier and will produce 2400 watts of power at 13.6 volts, drawing over 150 amps of current. The other amplifier is a 4 channel class AB amplifier, rated at 75 watts per channel. I am not entirely sure what the draw is with that amplifier to tell you the truth, but i'm sure it is going to be around the 50 amp area. I will be upgrading the alternator to a 200 amp alternator shortly. The sole purpose of upgrading the wiring is to efficiently supply my amplifiers with sufficient current.
As for the dual battery setup, I know what it requires, and will be installed shortly when the parts come in.
The fuse holder I have used is a completely sealed unit and is very strong, and is not possible to contact metal in any way. I installed it to the top of the fuse panel using an industrial grade velcro which is incredibly strong, and is removeable from the fuse panel so that I can still access it without issues. I considered going with automotive wire, however for that amount of current, 4 guage is not sufficient, and I was unable to find 1 guage. 1/0 awg was the next best thing, and has alot better shielding than the typical stereo 1/0 awg power or grounding wire.
As for the fuse holders that are strung across the battery, that will be changed. That was my local dealers wonderful (quick and easy) setup when they installed the frame charging system.
BTW, thanks, I appreciate your knowledge and opinions, fj2play.

Good to hear you have a handle on all that. Saftey is my primary goal, so if I seamed concerned is because I've seen what can happen.
To aid in your calculations, you might want to check this place out:

There are many usefull hints, tips, and even the calculation method for current draw on your electrical system with those big audio amplifiers of yours.
Good luck and keep us posted!
