Where do you guys get the 130ah one from? I can only find the 100ah C & D UPS12-370 High Rate Series Non-Spillable Dynasty UPS Battery 12V 391W C&D | eBay. I live in the UK.

I dont see how no one has suggested ratchet straps?

So the ai net is purely for like the bluetooth adapter and HD radio adapter? What if i brought the HD radio adapter and plugged one the KCA-235B into the input socket on the adapter?

Anyone?

So i want to use my ipod but sometimes use my phone or let someone else use theirs or there mp3 player, via aux. I'm aware the 9887 comes with a high speed ipod cable Alpine - iPod Cables - KCE-422i guessing that's it? Could i then connect this Alpine - AUX in Cables - KCA-235B and switch...

How much power do these actually put out? I know there rated at 4x75w@4ohm but what do they actually put out on the birthsheets?

I would rather my rear battery only supply current to my audio system than run accessories. I know you can't seperate them while the engine is running but not grounding the rear battery would make the accessories current harder to reach my rear battery as it would have to pass over my front...

Grounding them straight to the rear battery

I'm running 2 runs of 0 gauge one for + and one for - as had quite a bit of 0 gauge and want to make sure that the 2 batteries are connected good. But is it still necessary for me to ground my second battery to the chassis?

I'm going to be using an alpine 9887 which supports full ipod connectivity. But I would still rather use my phone through a 3.5 jack as its just more convenient and other people can plug there stuff in too. It also means i don't have to go fishing for my ipod and putting songs on my phone is so...

Yeh i understand that thanks. Regarding the battery, is it better to wait a few weeks until i can afford 2 identical batteries and install them both at the same time? One in the back and one replacing the one under my bonnet.

But doesn't it increase the amount of current it draws by the voltage of the input signal? The headunit volume? I wouldn't of thought my amp would be drawing 200A with the volume on 00 as its got no signal to amplify, the same with a low voltage signal. I'm not arguing with anyone i just don't...

For when im just out chilling with my mates? Could be parked up for like an hour and i would rather sit with the volume on 01 than sit in silence. I'm not going to blast it every time i have my radio on.

But what about low level listening? Like 1/5 volume I now know that a battery wouldn't last long when i've got it turned up and in affect ruin my amp because of the voltage drop but what about listening at a very low volume, that you could easily talk over. Just like background noise.

Looks like i'm bumping with my engine on and only on lol. We are talking with my system maxxed aren't we? Surely it will be fine for casual listening.
