How would you wire me

Ya I think its your best bet. The problem is your chosen vehicle and ways to fit a big alt on it so you can have a smaller amp(s) but then you gotta have alot of storage and you dont even have much room for more batteries either. You got to get as much storage as you can in that little space and juicebox has bigger batts too but dont know if you can fit them in there, look at watermellon on there site. really lithium is the answer to your problem - small lite and dont need alot of amps charging but very expensive. I am going to them. Too bad I cant afford it know I would sell you my batts.
Yeah. Iv built the bug from scratch. The stereo is a afterthought that has consumed me.. but the stereo is built around the car so. I enjoy the challenge lol

Makes it considerably harder lol ! I tend to look at vehicle engine bays first to see if multiple alts will work then if the rest of it will work ha ha Gotta love chev gmc trucks perfect for big azz stereo set ups

 
Whats 260 ? alt amps ? I honestly would tell you to get two audio batterys first, atleast 110 ah each then you would be pretty solid for 2.2k then the caps could be added to help the dips in voltage later but remember they discharge really quick and then need to recharge thats the reason you need alot of them to work well. I ran a 2.5k on two of those style batterys (group 78 )and a 140 stock alt and did ok but voltage was really low at time sand fried a few amps too. Its just not a big enough storage to pound hard on it for very long. I think sell your baterys and buy two juice box black cherry batterys which will double battery capacity. Then go on from there. I think you can get those batterys for around 200 bucks each. Juice box makes good batterys and alot less than XS too. IMHO everybit as good I have three for over three years pounding hard all day every day ha ha !

I can only find tjem fot 240 each and there not in stock

 
Call Kevin Ross at juice box (owner) usually 200 if you buy multiples . I was going to buy one more but decided to go with caps and talked to him and they had more and site said out of stock about three weeks ago or so or email kevin@juiceboxbattery.com and I think he is on Facebook too but I am not very Facebook savy lol

So I found these Deka Intimidator 9a31. It's considerably cheaper than Juicebox as in I can afford two of them for the price of one Juicebox. I'm reading that they're pretty good batteries much better than what I have now

What are the Ah ratings on these ?

 
I have bus bars on batterys and have alts feeding baterys and caps connected to buss bars as well.View attachment 26556679View attachment 26556680 i dont know if you can see anything in the pics. I dont want to dis your batts but I think you could do way better if you could get some car audio baterys because I am guessing yours are only about 50-55 ah where batts like xs or juicebox or lots of others in a group 31 are 110 ah so double the capacity in only a little bigger size and I think you have room. But try it with the caps first and see ?
I have to agree with him. Having higher capacity batteries will increase your efficiency exponentially. 110AGM Will do wonderfully. Also having your alternators rewound to prob double their stock output will increase efficiency even more an may reduce you spending an Eliminate your use of those caps.

I just wanted to say that this morning out in calif was cooling down temp wise and my batts are loving it ! Staying over 14v all most all day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I love it !

My build is on hold...thanks rain. But we needed it esp the fires going on and the haziness. But sunshine in the next 3-4 days or so I gotta finish it before summer is over.

 
100ah each
Well there is a difference between auto batteries and audio batteries as far as how it discharges all its amperage. Auto batteries tend to start out with heavier amperage near the top of the charge and taper off faster where audio batteries tend to be alot more constant all the way through the discharge cycle. However I think those will be alot better than what you have. any way to get three batts in there ? lol probably not huh ?
