Second battery options?

[Lmobeats]

So I'm looking at adding another battery to my system. I'm running 2 audiobahn flame q 15s bridged into a 4000w amp. Due to low funds I am wondering if anyone could tell me if it was smart to use either a lawnmower battery or a deep cycle marine battery. Reason I am asking is because I already have these batteries at the house. Anyone have any input on this? I'm running stock alternator and a 650 cca car battery. This is all in a 98 4runner btw

No.

No.

Care to explain why? I don't really see a difference in numbers when comparing the batteries made for amplifiers in cars vs other batteries. Am I missing something

They won't give out enough output to even make a significant difference.

What "4000w" amp is it? I doubt you even need upgraded electrical if it's what I think it is

Its the boss blx4000 it's Max output is 1500 2x channel. I have the subs bridged into it. Should be at 1 ohm

You're only getting 500-750w out of it. With proper wiring you don't need a second battery, just the gains right. Clipping it will 1) blow your subs 2) draw more current than your car can provide while actually being quieter

Yeah everything's wired up right 2 gauge wire everything. They are already loud as **** just looking to add certain components to help them out. I built a special box for them with 10 cubes and tuned to 22hz

What about the planet audio pl3000 ? It claims 3000w bridged on 2x channel

**** you dude not all of us has a **** ton of money to pour into our systems. I'm asking about batteries if you have no knowledge about it which you've yet to prove then don't bother replying

Im not into men but everything has a price. Unfortunately with you saying not everyone has a shit ton of money I don't think you could afford me.

22hz tuning is fucking retarded in a car audio application. Has nothing to do with money.

I offered you good advice, and you threw out another amp that is the same type of junk.

Don't go for the big numbers on an amp, they're bullshit.

The subs are rated for 1500 w each so what do you suggest? Two true 1500? And if so any recommendations?

Looks like they are 2.5 inch coil 1300 rms subs, d4. I would look at a good 1500w amp or so. If money is an issue maybe the Audiopipe 2k. Big 3 and a good group 31 battery. Set gains correctly and you should be safe. And as mentioned above...22hz is way too low for car audio. Most rarely tune in the 20s unless they have the right drivers. I would say 30-32 for those. You are losing a ton of output.
