[QUOTE="chris229, post: 88677, member: 542614"] welcome -------- k---simple answer only slightly if nothing in the charging system is changed. Remember--- midrange and trebble don't se alot of power well------- when are you listening to it---------when driving----- or do you do alot of car off listening too? the reason why is------- adding more batteries should only be done if you want car off listening time. I know you heard different-----well they are wrong. When the car is runing ---- the alterntor charges any batteries in the system they are loads----- adding more loads will decrease the head room of the alternator[extra current] first you should upgrade all factory wiring under the hood------- power and grounds you don't want a "high current pinch points" creating any voltage drops you also want to add some low ESR capacitance[caps] to stiffen the voltage in the charging system and reduce the exessive load spikes seen by the alternator and battery well it's not recommended to just grab some battery and stick it in parallel with the stock one for a couple reasons one a any charge diffence between the too will only become worse as new loads are put across them if the ESR are different then no matter how ccharged both are the load will take more current from the one with the lower ESR [/QUOTE]
