[carolinamic]

1st time posting so please bare with me. Long story short. i have the following.

4 - jl (w3) 12's

4 - jl 6x9's

2 - 4 " full range

2 - jl mono amps (500 watts)

1 - jl amp for my high's (250 watts)

1 head unit

1 drop down tv

1 viper alarm

1 yellow top (optium)

1 factory alternator

The question that i have is what would you recommend to power this. i've been hearing a battery for each amp. i also heard to get a 2 capacitors and call it a day. the reason i ask is because my battery has did more than once and thats getting old plus i dont think that i'm getting even have the output of my speakers. keep in mind that i'm not well off money wise. thanks in advance

okay batteries sound good. i seen the c&d and the sprinters on ebay. is there a link on this site maybe from a sponsor that sells them? what size should i get and how many. also should i try to hook them up to the alternator so or not? last but not least should i hook them up in series or parallel.
