[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5709029, member: 601690"] My recommendation would be to try that system on the stock alt, but you for sure will need better battery power. The best bet would be two matching batteries. One under the hood and one in the trunk. For that setup, they could be relatively small units. The Kinetik HC1200 or the Deka 9A78DT would be my choice. You can probably find these units for $150 ~ $200 each. If you want to go with just a single battery addition in the trunk and leave the stock starting battery, that would work fine too. But you are going to need to isolate that front battery, or it will die rather quickly when abused by the audio. You should look for the same batteries I mentioned above, except you would only need one in this case. The type of isolator you should look for is called a diode based isolator. Stinger sells a 200A unit that would work very well. The last thing that I would recommend if you have the budget is the MLA adapter. It will increase your alt voltage. That will help keep your voltages up and that leads to longer life of your electronics. [/QUOTE]
