Questions about multiple batteries

[brybry354 10+ year member]

Hey I already have two 8" kicker L7s and a 1000 watt kicker amp hooked up to a my yellow top optima battery. The subs put out 400rms a piece. I need to know if my yellow top optima will handle adding a hifonics Brutus 1200 watt amp plus 2 more 10" kicker CVRs putting out 400rms a piece. Do you think my battery can handler everything or do I need a new battery? Or could I add a capacitor and be okay? Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Having said that, with the amount of power your attempting to achieve you will not be able to do it with you current set up. Here is what you need. Forget the cap, its worthless to you, do a big 3 upgrade on your wiring if you havent already and look into a higher amp alt before multiple batteries. If you are hell bent on multiple batteries try and make them the same brand at the least, same battery if possible, I could explain why but just trust me.

Well this adds a new question, the 8s are gonna stay...so could I add 2 more 8s and wire them to the same amp?

Subs dont make noise.

Amps do.

Haha just help a noob out. I wanna add more bump to my system and all I have is the 2 8" l7s

Why would adding 2 10" subs make it sound bad? Or should I go with 2 8" subs? And if so do I need another battery?
