[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8203981, member: 655960"] No. They don't. There are dozens of battery manufacturers (if not a few hundred) and there are far fewer build houses than there are manufacturers. In other words, most batteries are made in the same few build houses and the differences are incredibly minor between brands, when we consider materials. [URL="http://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-agm-deep-cycle-marine-and-rv-battery-group-size-31dtmagm/prod3590232.ip?sprodId=prod3590232&_requestid=266784"]This battery[/URL] is available at Sam's Club for ~$160.00 and it's the same AGM battery that any number of manufacturers sell for a few hundred dollars more. So if there is some magical difference between "car audio" agms and standard agms, I don't know what it is, nor does Wikipedia. Only the car audio battery companies know about this Pixy dust and apparently, they can only explain it with word salad. In simple terms, electrons can't read the label on the battery they're flowing through and to boot, they don't even know they're powering up and audio system. In the end, you'll need at least two 100+AH batteries for a moderate setup in order to do what you plan to do and to be safe, you should have a bank of 2-3 100AH batteries in the back that are dedicated to the audio system and are isolated from the starting batteries because the last thing you need is a low battery when starting a Power Stroke.
