Amp Install - Which battery?

[Just-In Time]

I'm working on putting an amp and sub (if i can figure out how to make the speaker fit) in my 99 extended cab F250. From my understanding of the battery system it shouldn't make a difference which battery i hook the amp to but I'm asking to make sure. I'd prefer to hook to the passenger side battery. thanks for the help!

I hook all my stuff up to my driver side battery because its a bigger battery. Not sure if its different on the 7.3s or not. Mine is a 6.0

interesting. not sure if its different either. I'll take the cover off and check the battery size

Batteries should be the same size. You can hook up to either side.

Fuse for the amp power wire, and any other accessories, should be as close to the battery as possible (12-18"). If the power wire chafes where it runs through the firewall and shorts to ground, there's nothing to stop the current from the battery to where the short is.
