[QUOTE="cobaltitaliano, post: 7814656, member: 642707"] Hello all I have a 07 Chevy Cobalt with the battery in the trunk. The electrical system is very important in these cars since it also powers the power steering. Thus, I am really going against hooking up my system to my stock battery. My system is: dual 12" sundown audio e series subs (400 watt rms/piece) AQ1200 watt amp (wired at 1 ohm 1200 watts rms) I also have other electrical accessories hooked up such as aftermarket gauges and such so I'd rather buy a battery to just power the sounds system. Now, I have tried researching about this and still don't know which kind/type of battery I will need. I have looked up "car audio" batteries and they are like $50 more than a normal duralast or something of that nature. What is the difference? Could yall please help me out figuring this out I would greatly appreciate it! Also. does this battery need to be hooked up to the altenator or can it just sit by itself and just power the sound system? (freind had a system that was just a battery connected to his system (ground/power) and worked fine and lasted till he got rid of the car) [/QUOTE]
