I'm probably going to end up getting a Jeep XJ really soon and I plan to do some stuff to it. Like this stuff....

  • Sound System (2k-2.5k RMS amp + a 4 channel amp)
  • Off road lights
  • Winch

The problem is that I don't know if I should get a second battery for the rear or one giant battery for the front. And I don't know what would be good for it. I tried the size calculator on XS's site but it said that it does not have an exact fitment for the vehicle I looked up a 96 Jeep Cherokee. I plan to get a H.O Alt also. All I know is that the battery(s) must be sealed and super vibration resistant due to off roading and of course bass.

I personally, go as big as you can. Never too much power. But, that's just me. I had a small batt for secondary and was alright. then i got some funds, upgraded to a bigger one and damn do i notice the difference. Still need more electrical (ahem mech, dc) but it's fine for now lol. I just say as big as you can.

I would for the rear, but I will have space constraints unfortunately, With the spare tire in the trunk and box there, and a battery, I don't think I will have enough room for the recovery gear. Although...I will be taking out the spare tire for the bigger tire...hmmm...

What I'd do... get the vehicle. Then do measurements. Then do them again. And hell, do them for a 3rd time. Just so you're not unsure. I mean never guess when cutting wood for a box right? Measure at least twice. But figure out how big the box is going to be, how big the box for the recovery gear, ect... find out how much room you'll have. Then, go for the biggest you can fit. If that's a small little something, so be it. If it's a monster, so be it.
