why did you waste your time searching then posting the search when you could just answer the question?

OP.battery isolators can add unwanted resistance which can effect how much current is being delivered to your system

Resistance cuts voltage not current.

ISOLATORS HAVE NO PLACE IN A CAR AUDIO SYSTEM, YOU WILL LOOSE ONE VOLT MINIMUM AT THE ISOLATOR IT SELF, CAN YOU SAY GARBAGE?

Ohm's Law defines the relationships between (P) power, (E) voltage, (I) current, and ® resistance. One ohm is the resistance value through which one volt will maintain a current of one ampere.

( I ) Current is what flows on a wire or conductor like water flowing down a river. Current flows from negative to positive on the surface of a conductor. Current is measured in (A) amperes or amps.

( E ) Voltage is the difference in electrical potential between two points in a circuit. It's the push or pressure behind current flow through a circuit, and is measured in (V) volts.

( R ) Resistance determines how much current will flow through a component. Resistors are used to control voltage and current levels. A very high resistance allows a small amount of current to flow. A very low resistance allows a large amount of current to flow. Resistance is measured in

ohms.

( P ) Power is the amount of current times the voltage level at a given point measured in wattage or watts.

WTF was the point of the above post?

Generally you lose about .7v across a battery isolator, hardly a big deal in a non-competition system. I agree though that unless you play the system with the car off a lot there is little need for an isolator.

lol x2....isos are not needed just wire the batts up
