How many batteries

[t-money 10+ year member]

I'm running around 1900 watts rms in total(1500 for bass and 400 fror fronts), Right now i have a yellow top up front and still get a lot of dimming. I don't have room in the back for another battery. Is there a single battery that can stop the dimming( i know a ho alt is recommended). I was thinking a Oddysey 1750? Anything else that may be cheaper but will get good results. I bought a Oddysey 2150 but it wouldn't fit under my hood so i returned it. Just looking for a single battery application that will help with dimming

I drive a 98 ford explorer. The box in the back takes up too much room i can't fit a battery back there. I have the big 3 done. Running a stock 125 amp alt. I'm running a kicker zx1500.1. The one yellow top isn't bad until i really crank up the volume. I used to have two batteries in the back but that was before i had a new box built

You need to get battereies that fit your application. IF you dont have room for big or conventiona sized car batteries, then try some of the small batteries. You could hind them all over.

If you add several more batteries, you will need to get an alternator that puts out alot more than your stock alt.

Another way you can minimize dimming is by using a thicker positive and negative powerwire, I like to use copper welding wire

Running a stock 125 amp alt.

Go buy a H/O 250+ amp alternator and you don't need to worry about cramming another battery in the back.
