[QUOTE="blackgeltabs, post: 70289, member: 541881"] nah nah. Alright with a deep cycle, its called that becsue they can go through "deep cycles" which is where the battery will basicly go to a very low charge usually around 9.6 volts. The strain on your alternator is much more minimal than haveing your amps draw staright from the main battery and having the alt trying too keep up with that. You can call them a crutch, they help out:p So instead of ******* all the power from the main battery and casuing sever light dimming(which is voltage drop) it sucks that from the battery in the trunk. And even a quite small alternator like mine can keep up and keep it charged even during intense bass that dosent stop like 3-6 mafia. But this is where you gotta make sure you have 0gauge from the main to the trunk so it is basiclly free flowing current, its also good idea to rewire the alt to the main battery, when i did mine I used 4awg thats just becasue its only 65amps:( otherwise I would have used 0awg.
