Batt#2 alternator & wires question

[csawatzky]

If I put a second battery in but don't bump that long will it still be hard on my stock alternator? I only have 12gauge wire from the amp to subs will upgrading that make the subs louder?

Two Sundown x12s two hifonics Brutus 2000w amps

i think he meant the subs wire to the amp.....12g is fine...as far as 2 batteries on stock alt....I would suggest putting them on a charger checking them with a dmm to make sure they are getting the proper charge....

So I should just nut up and get a mechman alt with two deep cycle batts?... I am going to upgrade my speaker wire to 8gauge I think too

If you have 12awg for the speakers then you're fine. I thought you meant 12awg power/ground wire

if you can afford it why not....upgrading to 8g will not make your subs louder also....
