What's a good battery to power my system?

I have a 98 camry. Running stock electrical, but I don't have any real problems yet. I had a JL 1000/1 with gains all the way up, and no cutting out. My voltage would drop like crazy on full tilt though.. around 10-11 volts. I'm putting in a yellow top tomorrow evening, and will see how that works out, if you'd like to wait and hear how it goes, I'll post here tomorrow. I'm upgrading to an AQ2200D soon though, so a HO alternator is going to needed. Most likely getting that next month, 200amp alternator for about $350 which is dealer pricing.

So your running stock on a 98 Camry with 1000 watts RMS? How about when you have your high beams on, heater or AC on, defrost, etc. on at the same time while playing your music? Cause when I play my music with the high beams extra car accessories on, the amp protection light goes on cuts the subs out. When I play my music without the car accessories running, my music sounds fine. Is your Camry a v6 or I4. and what amps is your alternator.

I have the V6 IMZFE. Not sure what the amps are on the alternator, called the dealer and they just said its a 12v 1.4kw alternator. I'm running 1000watts off the JL 1000/1 and roughly another 300watts from a 4 channel. Nothing cuts out at anytime, lights, defogger, everything on. I have a fairly new Toyota battery in there. No Big 3, and 4 gauge wiring throughout. After 1000WRMS, you really need to start upgrading everything, bigger battery with Big 3, HO alternator, and then extra batteries for every 1k watts I would say.
