Yeah, grounding to the frame is the plan, what Subaru told me was that even if I do that, the smart charging for the alternator, the load will still get accounted for. Just in case though, I bought a wireless monitoring device for the battery; last thing I want to do is hit the road for 3 weeks...

Good to hear, thanks for the help. Now just a matter of finding a spot on this batterie's positive terminal to drop a cable to. Subaru already has a mess with 5 million things attached and a sensor for the alternator charging on the negative terminal to consider. Fun times...

Should I not be worried about a parasitic draw from the radio when the engine is off?

If it helps for context on what Im trying to wire... Midland GMRS Radio Rigid D series SS Pro Driving Ditch Lights

Thank you much, and yes your assumption is correct, I'm wanting to go from the car's battery to the 100 amp breaker to the aux box (fuse/relays). Im wiring Rigid ditch lights and a 50 watt GMRS radio to the aux box.

I just have a large plastic box I'm putting relays and fuse box and bus in, and I am wanting to connect a cable from the battery to a breaker 100 amp, from that to the fuse panel,. I guess what Im asking is does it make sense to have a short 4AWG wire from the breaker to a few inches away to...

Right on, what would be a good under-the-hood solution for connecting up to the terminals on the breaker then? In theory, could I just put the breaker inside my custom fuse/relay box I'm making, or is that a bad idea with too much heat, etc? I have until 7/25 to do my build, I have a '22...

Hey all Does anyone know where I can find these specific or similar Lug Extenders for the terminals to use for a breaker, identical to what's being done in this video? DIY Fuse Relay Panel - Protect Your Rig! Thanks in advance. Cy
