I was gonna say, Get a high output alternator for your car. You do that, it will charge the batteries under the hood, and the back one near your amp, and give you greater voltage, which = more power for your amp.

Eventually, your stock alternator will fry out. In my scion xb, i have a 90 amp alternator, and that thing is gonna give up soon lol.

im guessing mine 130 amp do i have to do the big 3 before i put in the 2nd batterY?

130 alternator is not that bad, so you will live.

No for the big 3, but its smart to do. It gives you a 25% electrical increase.

Its also really easy.

This is how to do it, from maxssonics.

That kinda looks like it, but im not 100% sure.

What car are you driving, and what year model is it.

lol i think the thing next to the washer fluid cap is probably a dist cap or maybe the freaking horn? thats how stupid I am with engines...

also wtf do you have your positive wire tapped into? the fuse panel?

fvck gm, i have to figure out the wife's ION battery setup, she has a similar + terminal next to the fuse panel, probably for jumping the car like yours. cant find the **** battery anywhere haha

yes feeding too little power to it will overheat it. and yes you have the right idea about the battery. positive under hood to positive on the battery , negative in trunk to a very secure gronding point. , big 3 is 0 gauge from alt to underhood positive , engine block to negative on battery under hood , and finally negative on under hood battery to very secure grounding point on body under the hood. you should be set after that.
