it would be best to get another yellow top...

**** cause now i ll have 2 batt layin around unused.....any other suggestions....should i have kept the stock batt up front and put the yellow top in back?

yea, you could do that and isolate the yellow top. but if you get a second yellow top you can gain a lot more power...

I'd consider buying a new alt. Adding a second battery is gonna make your alt **** blood.

my alt is takin a **** as it is....where are the cheapest places that install and sell good alts....any how many amps am i lookin at for my system??? and how much power will it rob from my engine?

thanks...bump,.....what kind of amperage am i gonna wanna have?

[photocrazy8]

depends on how much you want, he has lots of different ones, what sorta car do you have?


:edit: you just want as much amps as possible. never too much

acura rl 1999....and a max possible draw of 175 ish amps for the whole car ....taking in account if everythign were at full tilt lol
