You will need to get a battery hold down or bolt (got mine from local dealer). You will also need a battery relay of the correct current capacity and wire it so it turns on then the ignition is on. I wired from the main battery to the relay then to the spare battery.

please post more pics, if you need some place to host them, i can arrange that.

I am currently stationed in Iraq with about two more months to go. I do plan on making some changes when I get back, just don't know how soon.

i know that a second battery would help me in longer playing time while my truck is turned off. But i wanna know if this helps me rise up my amperage going into my amp? And if this adds stress to my altenator?

for your amp, you should probably use a big @$$ capacitor

Having two batteries would provide more current for the amps. Having a larger alternator would also provide more current capability. The question is do you really need the extra power? Are you listening to it that loud all the time?

Having a cap may or may not help. It all depends on the amps used.

Will you be upgrading the other vehicle in your avatar as well?

Have you considered using a computer for the audio processing?

I plan on doing some sort of stereo in the T/A but it won't have a computer. Be more of a old school style install.

I don't like having to rely on the computer to do the audio processing. I can have the computer off and still listen to CDs/Radio.
