Big 3 upgrade did squat. Deep cycle or 'normal' battery?

[QUOTE="WhatsAminiTruck, post: 8180490, member: 655685"] Okay so, I recently did the 'big 3' upgrade, and it helped.... barely. It's not that HUGE of an issue if I'm going over 15mph, but at idle... its hilariously bad. I'm trying to be able to play my system at full power with little to no voltage drop at idle. That is my goal right now, the system is less that 600 watts and the voltage meter smacks 8 after every bass hit. I will soon be pushing more than 2.5k watts.... and I obviously need to beef up the electrical haha. I am contemplating purchasing a second battery, and using it only to power the amp. If I do this, can I hook BOTH of the batteries up to my single alternator? can I ground both of the batteries to the same 'ground spots'? Should I get a deep cycle battery, or a 'normal' battery? ^If I get a deep cycle battery, can I hook that to the alternator? Thank you! Looking to spend less than $200 for the battery. [/QUOTE]
