[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7841413, member: 573547"] You will need to replace the front "Value Battery" in your kit with a quality AGM Deep Cycle battery, as well as add another one to the rear of the car. The Deep Cycle AGM's contain much more power delivery and charging ability in a much smaller case, compared to a conventional starting battery. You will need to run a negative wire of the same size as the positive wire you already have. Just wire the two batteries parallel, then you can wire the amp directly to the second battery both pos. and neg. The key is you have to use both the front and rear battery of the same type(AGM). Absorbed Glass Mat deep cycle batteries charge differently than a standard Wet Cell type. This difference in charging and discharge rates can damage both batteries over time if they are not of the same type. I am just listing a few from Sonic as a quick reference, you will have to take some measurements of the battery you have and possibly make some fone calls to get a couple of the right ones lined up. You can run a small HC 600 or 800 up front and a bigger HC1800 or 2000 in the rear for probably the best results [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_38720_XS-Power-D680.html"]XS Power D680 12-Volt Deep Cycle AGM Power Cell Battery[/URL] [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17902_SHURiKEN-SK-BT35.html"]SHURiKEN SK-BT35 (SKBT35) 950 Amp 12 Volt Car Battery Power Cell[/URL] [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8531_Kinetik-HC800-KHC800.html"]Kinetik HC800 (KHC800) 950 Amp 36 AH 12V Car Battery Power Cell[/URL] There are others to choose from too.
