what battery should i use?

[Beatkeeper1 10+ year member]

I have a 2000 nissan sentra gxe. It's only a small 4 cyclinder. This spring time i'll be upgrading my system to 1000 rms. I'm wondering in addition to the big 3 wether to install a large capacitor or wire a second battery, I'm just not sure. Any suggestions are appreciated. also i'm not really looking to break the bank maybe like 100 bucks tops

crap now i have to run a second length of wires to my trunk. Is there any capacitor that could compare to this?

Capacitors are a band-aid for a weak electrical system.

The HC800 is a much better option. Do the big-3 as well.

caps dont store much current and why would you need a second set of wires? 1 more wire

what if i used something like a duralast battery?

if it is a wet cell they tend to leak and tend to be a higher resistance than a small agm type battery as the kinetik. agms are alot easier and more safe to deal with as they dont spill or give off harmfull gasses
