[QUOTE="MkKin420, post: 5505000, member: 603251"] Caps are BS, You [B]could[/B] use the Hc800 in the back, but, if you are not having any issues at the moment then you should be fine without adding another battery. From what I have comprehended from various threads on here, the extra battery sort of cushions the load when the alternator cannot provide the extra bit of power needed during high demand. The hc800 will work for up to 800w rms. The main thing is that no matter what, extra batteries do not give/make more power, higher output alternators provide more power (amps). More batteries just increase the load the alternator has to provide to maintain the batteries charge on top of what is being drawn by the car and your stereo. [/QUOTE]
