I am currently doing this in my Sigma. It does have to be sealed and vented to the outside, box and all. So those $20 black battery boxes do not count. It also does not matter whether you use a LA or SLA or other type of sealed battery, same rules apply.
I ran 0 guage through my car, then into a distro block. Currently it is non-fused and no circuit breaker on the main wire. Reason is, all the trailing wires got to fusable links. Plus if you fuse it and it blow while driving, goodbye everything. Circuit breaker would be good, but doesn't allow your system to spike on heavy drainage like a fuse will. Only problem with no protection on the main wire is if it grounds, the cable can take a lot of current, so the battery will melt. So ensure the cable is well protected and clear of protrusions.
