Battery?

[Americanstrat21 10+ year member]

This is my setup:

Headunit: PIONEER DEH-P600UB

Amp: MTX TA 7801

Sub: Fi Q 18"

Wire: Stinger 0/1 Gauge High end

Speakers: Undecided

Speaker Amp: Undecided

Do I need an extra battery? I have a 1996 GMC Jimmy, I do not want to have to switch an alternator or anything like that because I do not have the cash to do so. If I do need a battery, what is the cheapest battery that will suffice?

Thanks!

you don't need a battery, research the big 3 and you will be fine

Also, do not say I do not need one because I stated that I do not have the cash because I do not want to cause problems with the electrical of the car because I am trying to be cheap. How much does a decent battery usually cost new on ebay? (I am not really even sure what to search for it )

get a deka, or go to carquest if you have one aorund you and get the ngt series, basically the same batt, 34/78 series are around 140ish and the g31 series are about 190

... quit buying crack.
Honestly wal-mart if you just need a ghetto-bat.

Shipping a bat is as much as a cheap bat from wal-mart.

cheap usually = sh*t, maybe not right away but sooner than later its junk

By the time you buy a battery on ebay and with the shipping you would probably be breaking even with buying a battery local. Just go to a local battery store and find a red top or yellowtop or a kinetik if you can and see how much they are, than look on ebay for prices + shipping.
