A capacitor will do more to drain your battery than save it. Just so you know.

anything from kinetik or optima redtop or yellowtop. or stinger. also look into the big three.

i suggest you invest in a High Output alternator. why? because your alternator is runnng while the car is on to charge the battery. You need more current to keep up the demand for power. Do a bit more search and you'll get a better understanding.

to name a few reputable alternator companies:

Iraggi Alternator

Excessive Amperage (mixed reviews)

Mean green

Ohio Generators

Powermaster

for batteries. yellow optima is good, kinetik is good as well as powermaster, the list can go on. A deep cycle battery would be the way to go for a car audio enthusiasts, especially since you will be draining this sucker.
