[QUOTE="deminn, post: 5722230, member: 587353"] I'm don't know the specs on my stock alternator. How do I look that up? How much would a second battery cost me? There are so many of them. Is there one that would be recommended to work well at how much power that I'm running? How much would a alternator upgrade cost me if I have to? Yes, I do listen to my stereo when the engine is off. Well a lot of different people are telling me many different things. I just want to know if the things that they are saying required or optional, necessary or unnecessary? I was told from another forum to get 2 extra batteries and an upgrade on my alternator. Now that seems pretty expensive. I already spent quite some money on what I have now. The estimated total for my installation where I'm going to already told me it was going to be around $650-$700 dollars for the overall installation. Now I have to get batteries and get a new alternator? I'm just trying to minimize it as much as possible just so the system can run smooth and not burn out. I don't need it to be at it's full potential maxed power. I think I'll stick with 1 extra battery and an isolator. I'm kind of hesitant on the alternator upgrade thing, but I will if I have to. So what do you think? [/QUOTE]
