    2 amps on one battery?

    I have a 2010 ford focus with a 900 watt amp punching two comp 12s and I have an extra amp that is 760 watts. Would it be safe to add the extra amp to the battery with the 900 watt amp or would I need another battery or dist block. Any help, tips, or info for the future would be greatly appreciated

    Battery, Help!

    So, I have the chance to get an Optima Red Top 34R for $75. The problem is it would not fit in my front hood. I would have to wire it in series or parallel or whatever with the stock battery that I currently have. Which would ruin the life for both of them. However, it's a fantastic deal! My...
