[QUOTE="20 hz bass machine, post: 8738846, member: 678131"] A front battery delete will have better power delivery and put less stress on the rest of the cars electronics and cost less in power wire. Once again, I'm not saying you're wrong. You can't deny that a front battery delete is superior to a upgraded front battery. What if his car doesn't have room for a beefy battery? He would surely want to go with the delete in that case. Even if he didn't do the delete and just added a second battery that would be worse because you would still need to size the wire bigger to account for amp draw from the battery rather than sizing the wire based on the alt output alone. Ex: If you're amplfier is pulling 400 amps and you upgraded the front battery you would be looking at 2 0 guage runs, regardless of the alternator output. Every battery you add distributes the load evenly. So given our 400 amp example, best case scenario you would be pulling 200 from each battery which would require 1 0 guage run. In reality, the second battery would most likley be bigger than the one up front so what ends up happening is the front battery gets drained at a faster rate causing more amp draw from the rear battery resulting in the need for 2 0 guage runs.
