Just a suggestion, make sure your cabling is not exposed to any damage, and use a good fuse, i had two extensions from the battery one for my Amp and the other for a power inverter not a 1000watt but 400watt and the dangerous part comes here:
I sent my car for a fuel tank replacement (i cracked it dont know how) anyway, the car was delivered to me and at the second day in my garage when i arrived i noticed smoke coming from my seat and it began to increase filling the cabin so i started looking as fast as i could for the source more and more smoke and found a cable that was running red hot under my seat, run took my fire extinguisher i have in the car just in case open the hood and unplugged the battery.
Diagnostic: first the guys that removed the tank removed the carpeting to replace the fuel pump after installing the new tank and put the inverter cable under the rear seat support so when the seat was in place was crushing the cable.
Second thing: apparently the had a problem with it because the fuse i had installed was 15amp and found a 30amp on the fuse case installed way wrong on this connection because the wire was turned into a toaster wire and even in a shor the fuse was not burning the metal wire but meltin the plastic and current was not stopped. oi found the old fuse the guys from the shop left inside the engine compartment burned was the original 15amp installed for the estension...
Always use a fuse with the lowest working amp for your appliance, keep an extinguisher on your car always, and check your fuses after a visit to the shop..
Regards and good luck...
