which means?

how much power your amps will draw from the charging system

Depends on the amount of money you have and the amount of power youre going to run.

My guess is a single Kinetik HC2400 or Powermaster D3100 would do the trick since you're probably not running a huge system.

Would be running Ed NiNe.1, Kenwood KAC-5203- 2 channel 350w max, Sony XM-504Z 4-channel 500w max

Something like I mentioned would have so much reserve you wouldnt really need to worry about your voltage dropping much at all unless you played it for really long periods of time. A little more money, but you cant ever have too much battery power and it will be headroom for if you ever upgrade.

with all this said do I need to get a battery immediately or can I wait(so I can get money for a 2400)?
