[QUOTE="Wick3D, post: 8500448, member: 669753"] Hey guys thanks for the replies! 1.) Ok so bad idea. 2.) Would these batteries need to be brand new and identical or can it work out with 2 different age/brand batteries that have the same amp/hr cca ratings? Like how close do they need to be? I do seem to have enough room, with maybe a bit of work, but I should be able to put 2 batteries in there. 3.) So this seems mixed because I have seen many people do this. In fact almost all the audio shops/bass heads i've talked to says this is the best solution. What exactly is the downside to this? 4.) So you guys are saying that the best way is just to get a brand new higher rating agm battery up front and nothing in back? OR Both a new agm up front and rear? I'm really just wanting to do something cheap to buff out some of the dimming and give the amp a more consistant supply FYI, I am running a 1000 wrms alpine amp to a 12" 5th gen type R (@2ohm, 40v multimeter gain set). Plan on sticking around a 400-500 watt comp amp for the mids/highs soon. The sub amp is already dimming me up though [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG].. The car is a '95 VW jenky jetta vr6 w/120a alt.
