[QUOTE="jon_k, post: 6354629, member: 614503"] I don't even need to read your post, the subject will do. Do you play your sound while the car is off? Frequently unable to start your car? Upgrade your battery. Does your battery go dead while going 60mph down the freeway? More batteries won't help, high output alt is the only method. Remember that the only reason you care about batteries is to start your car. Once you start your car, your alternator takes over powering EVERYTHING including powering your batteries to keep them charged. If you're running off battery at all while the car is running, you have a problem at the alternator that you have to resolve. If you want to run 9,000 watts for a while parked with car off, a bank of batteries might be a good idea. Otherwise, don't bother. [/QUOTE]
