I would run XS Power. 2 3100's along with a 3400 under the hood would be good.

Depends on your alternator also. If you have a HO alt, around 200amps or so, then a couple HC2400's or equivalent along with your under-hood battery will be good. If you're running on a stock alt I'd do three HC2400's.

They are both reliable batteries, pick what fits your budget best. I run XS in my truck now because I wanted to try them out, but I ran Kinetiks forever and still put them in cars when I do installs for other people.

I would get the biggest alt you could get unless you only want to show off/ play it loud for a few seconds at a time.

and I would get one of these and perminatly wire it into the system and run an extension cord out to it everynight.
