alts and batts

Ok so ive been reading up and wondering if i really even need to add a second battery, even when i was only running about 1200 watts i still turn on my car to listen to music.

Im getting a 220 amp alt and doing the big 3 so if im not really listening to it with the car off is a second battery really neccesary?

Not with just 1200rms. I would upgrade your front battery

You didn't say what you where planning on running so how was I to assume.

thought there was a general answer..

Is the second batt going to do anything than store power for when the car is off?

Seeing as how batterys only store power and the H/O alt should have enough for everything do i really need it?

For 3K

Get a nice front battery, also the biggest back one you can get too as long as you get that HO alternator. Also if both batteries are run parallel than they act as one big battery. However if you do listen to it for long periods of time than a isolated may be needed. But 99% of daily drivers/comp's don't use them because I only listen to it when I drive. Also H/O is needed

Get the 220amp alt a 50ah batterie up front and 2 110ah batteries in back if your going to do 3k Imo

well ive been told the one i have up front with 1 more would do..

so ill do big 3, 220 amp alt, keep the battery i have (a little better than a stock one), and add this one in back?
