Hello! i have an 03 civic coupe and a Crescendo BC2000D on all stock electrical. Stock Battery and Stock alternator.. I have done the big 3 and i am very close to putting it all together but the questions is.. Should i replace the front battery with a good ~100ah battery or stick with the same front battery and get another back battery??... I don not plan on using capacitors so dont reccommend that lol thanks in advance!
i would replace the front and buy one for the back.it's not always a good idea to mix and match batteries
Hmm but which option would be better.. Running on a big front battery or front and a secondary until i get a h.o alternator?Quote:

Unless you have fab skill you are not getting 100AH up there. Different batts are fine if you isolate them.
a more cost effective solution?Quote:

whats the use of that? you will only have one battery for the amp if you isolate them.Quote:

Oh wow but for now would it be acceptable to add a second battery until i get a new alternator and a new front bat?Quote:

I know what it is just never messed with one. guess you learn something new everydayQuote:

How to Wire a Battery Isolator
Battery isolators have a whole new set of problems. If you play with the car off and that back battery is drained, when you start the car up your front battery is going to get RAPED and shorten its lifespan
Ill just go with the the second baattery in the back... thanks for the help!
