Battery mounted in rear - resettable breaker switch, on/off AND fuse needed?
Hello-
I am mounting the battery in the trunk, I have 0ga going from the trunk to remote jumpers on the firewall, and then 4ga going from the jumpers to the underhood fusebox and also the starter.
I bought a couple of these types of breakers off of ebay, and I want to know if they are good enough for what I need:

Of course, mine are 12V, and they are 150A.
Should I replace these with a known brand name? Do I need a fuse AND a breaker on the power line? Also, if I use the resettable breakers, can I use them as on/off switches for the battery when the car is going to be stored for a long period of time?
I dont mind adding extra fuses or on/off switches, especially since it could burn something down.

Thanks for the quick reply.
What size fuse should I run? Since the battery is in the rear the amp is fused on another 8ga wire, not the 0ga to the firewall.
Anything on this page that might work?
