Do it to the back one, no need to run another set of wires to the front.

yeah hook the amps up to the bat closest to them. that way current can get to them faster

If you are running 2 of the same batts going parallel should be fine.If you are using 2 different batts you should use an isolator.I would also reccomend getting a high output alternator.Look into Iraggi,Ohio generators and Power Master alts.Some people reccomend Excessive Amperage(EA) but I've heard that they don't put out rated amps and also have fitment problems and such...I strongly reccomend an Iraggi alt and getting the lifetime warranty as well.

Same for 2, or any amount for that matter.
