Optima Batteries

I have 2 batteries a RED and YELLOW top. The yellow top right now is running everything......... but if I add the red one do I add the red to the back where the sound is or should I move the yellow one to the back and place the red under the hood?

thanks.

Red under the hood (It is a starting battery after all). And the yellow in the rear only if needed.

I see no reason to go threw the labor of installing the second battery. Unless you truly need the current.

I have a little *** alternator which is rated at 60 amps. (as you can see on my sig)

I have contacted a few companies about alternators and Ohio has one that is direct bolt on............ but it is reted at only 160 amps and they want $250.00 for it.

So while I save a few more bucks i was thinking on adding this battery that is just colecting dust. (i know is going to kill my currenct alternator faster) But damit i need to feel the bass!
