[QUOTE="Ballistic89, post: 8438664, member: 659307"] Looking at adding a 2nd battery in my mustang, i upgraded the alternator to 200amps, still need to do the BIG 3 upgrade. Anyway every once in a while when the bass hits or i have it pretty loud, my amp used for speakers shuts off from power loss. Current setup: Kicker L5 10" Sub Kicker ZX 1000.1 Kicker IX 500.4 Kicker RS 6.5" x4 (I know its not the best but employee cost made it worth it) Where i screwed up was running 4 Gauge from the front to the trunk about 10 feet (dont really feel like running 1/0 or if i can even get it through the firewall now..) BUT, what battery should i get i get good deals on Optima's, but open to suggestions. And whats the best way to run this? Last time i did a multiple battery setup was in my boat and i used 2 Blue Tops with a solenoid but i forgot everything i learned when i did that setup.. Thanks! Going to Sema in about a month may stop by the kinetik booth. [/QUOTE]
