i wired up my 2nd battery yesterday. i used 4 gauge for it. i ran the wires right along the power wire for my amp.

before i installed it everything sounded good, i just wanted to have some extra battery power so i didnt have to worry about draining my battery under the hood.

after i installed the new bat. i turned my stereo up, and i get some distortion in my front speakers.... what could cause that?

How is your 2nd battery wired up? Where is it located and what do you have running off of it?

the second battery is hooked up like this:

+ from my main battery to + of the 2nd batt. with 4 guage.

- from second battery to ground in the trunk.

nothing is hooked up to it....

im not sure what could have caused this.... i ran the power wire right next to my other power wire for my amp. any help appreciated, thanks alot.

my amps a Rockford T5001bd wired from my main battery.

i dont think its anything with my gains from my HU or amp, becuase this is the exact same settings as it was before i put in the 2nd batt.
