well if you listen to your music with the car on most of the time then upgrade your battery under the hood and get another of the same one to put in the back and wire them in parallel. as far as batteries go, yellow top, odyssey, or kinetik. if you have your car off some of the time then your gonna want to isolate your battery in back with and isolator.

Ohio gen makes so best ish (sorta a lot of $$$), Iraggi alt is a good bang for your buck, or this site has lots of stuff (http://www.alternatorparts.com/)

you would need two group 31's in back for the amps for daily playing..you could go less but the potential for problems is alot greater
