I am mounting dual Optima yellow tops in the rear of my 4Runner, hanging somewhat where the spare used to. Seems to me its reasonable to take the grounds right to the frame at the batteries, and take the power cables up front where a solenoid will connect them in parallel only when the ignition is on. I'm running 1/0 welding cable.

Your thoughts?
