I am purchasing a system for my new Volvo, getting a 12 hdc3 and sq 2200 today. I'm having the big three done and running 0g. I want to purchase a battery to help the electrical and this will be the first time I upgrade electrical at all so I need advice on what battery to get.

You are going to need a alternator first. That stock Volvo wont power that amp. You wont need a battery after that

Batteries do not make power only store it. If the alternator dont make enough power for the amp the battery has nothing to store. A 200 amp plus will be enough
