[QUOTE="Decipha, post: 798444, member: 560051"] some people like to put a battery in the trunk, its not a bad idea but i wouldn't do it (for personal reasons), however you can give it power just get a hi capacity diode (optional) and run an extra wire from the alternator to the second battery. Another battery would give you alot more power and more power means a more stable supply of power for your amps. however its not neccessary unless you have an unusually small alternator, lets say perhaps a very small import car with a stock 30 amp alternator and you want to run a hi power sub amp and another amp for your comps... then you would need another battery. But in most cases, you can bypass needing another battery by getting a capacitor. [/QUOTE]
