[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5719008, member: 601690"] Step 1) Big 3 Step 2) Biggest AGM battery you can fit under the hood Step 3) Evaluate your voltage with audio at high volume at idle and while driving. If it stays above 13.0v at full tilt, you are done. Enjoy! If it sags below 13.0v, continue to #4. Step 4) Second battery in the trunk near the amps. Repeat the steps in #3. If still no change go to #5. Step 5) Upgrade to HO alt. To be honest, the Big 3 is the most important step. Without it done correctly, all of the other steps would be in vain. Your alt should be good up to about 1500W RMS. Anything past that is going to need either lower volumes, longer drive times at moderate volumes, or an HO alt upgrade. [/QUOTE]
