As far as I'm concerned, those types can have their caps and 8gauge. Because you know as well as I, which one will get stomped at the next '' redlight bass off ''

Many people are under the impression that adding a second battery will cure their electrical problems. If one battery is good then two must be better. Right? Wrong. Remember that the function of a battery is to start the vehicle and to provide power when the vehicle is not running. The only thing a second battery will help you with is "parking lot" listening time. Basically it will provide you the additional capacity to run your stereo longer without starting the vehicle. After the vehicle is started the second battery becomes another load on an already overworked alternator.

a guy over on the grandprix forums says that extra batteries do nothing. he says that any real stereo person will tell you the only way to help you electrical is to add a capacitor or a in his words a "1,000" amp alt. he told me that for my system which is at the very most 2,500 watts that i would need a 100 farad cap and that magical alt.

Once you exceed the output capability of you alt, the batteries "kick in" and back it up. Now, if you continue to exceed the output of your alt, and drain your batteries. . agreed . . with this heavy of usage . . you need an alt. .

But, if you give the alt time to get things charged back up . . then lay on it again . .you're good. And, from my experience, AGM batteries seems to come back a lot faster than flooded batteries ..

It all depends on usage .. but a high output alt is never a bad thing.

i find it funny when i see a run of 8 gauge.people always wonder why their amps get hot and jump to protection.its like sucking a watermelon thru a garden hose in most cases.

i have dual redtops and run a 1A trickle charger whenever the car is parked in the garage and notice a huge difference when driving, especially when i'm playing the woofer.
