Replace the battery or what???

[GT4_Dan]

Im a bit new to all the car audio stuff, so sorry if any of the below is a stupid question.

Ive just got a 12" Kicker SL7 and Vibe VP4 amp to run it.

Someone keeps on telling me that my battery isnt gonna be able to handle this (ive got a celica GT4). Are they right? After hearing this I went to ask someone at Halfords, they recommended getting a new yellow cap battery & a power cap. I read somewhere that a yellow cap can be used as a 2nd battery to run a ICE system, do you just hook the yellow cap up to the normal battery and then hook all the ICE up to the yellow cap? What kind of price are yellow caps?

Also what is a power cap?

hope someone can help

cheers

i wouldnt worry about anotherbatter nor cap... hook your system up.. and see how it goes.. if your lighs were to dimm, then i suggest u look into getting either a bigger alternator.. or haveing your rewound

What exactly would getting a bigger alternator mean?

Also what would haveing it rewound mean?

There probably simple answers but anyway!

gettin a bigger alternator or having it rewound would just supply your car w/ more power to help run your system correctly and keep your headlights fro dimmin...
