If you mix you need an isolator and you should probably not do it it can cause the front battery to drain much more dramatically if not done right...
Get two Deka's for cheap somewhere and throw one in the front and one in the back glass matts always the best, deep cycle high outputs with lots of ah and reserve will be your best friend.
alternator is not needed it's only 2400w unless you plan to idle full tilt hours at a time... Just get a good batt int he front, batt in back, Big III with 0/1 and 4 runs of 0gauge to the back for pos/neg.
Also the best ground is running your amplifiers ground to the battery negs I've seen 1v rise from this and lower impedance from the amplifier. So if you do put a batt in the back ground on the neg terminal of the battery.
If your amp doesnt accept 0ga make it...Lost of wire is your best friend you want zero bottlenecks in your current.
FOllow my suggestions and you'll be fine I've ran a 2800w amplifier @ .5 ohms off this type of setup daily.
Also you will not need 200a, a good 150 would more than do the trick... 200a is sufficient for upwards of 3000-3200w setups.
I plan on upgrading my battery in front with a yellowtop.
Alternator is on its way already (300amp iraggi)
and i plan on just getting a xs3000 in the bank.
I have already completed my big 3/ 1/0 with Knu CCA.
I am upgrading that to either some 2/0 welding wire or KNU OFC wire gonna do 2 runs or +/-
Also ditching my fused dist blocks and gonna make the my large wire fit because my AQ1200's inputs are 4g
Went ahead and decided to upgrade all so whenever i do upgrade my system ill have it ready
