with the alternator upgrade and a good cap I doubt you'll need the extra battery, unless of course you run it without the car on

Dont waste your money on those name brand batteries. All you're paying for is the name. Yellow top sucks. If you want a good battery that'll last through many completely drainned, a regular deep cycle battery will work just fine. Ive gone through 4 Optimas (all less than 3 years) before I switch to a dry cell battery with 1200CC. Now that battery is about to kick the bucket. My next battery's gonna be a regular deep cycle battery. If you're gonna run your system with the car off, then get a good deep cycle battery. If you're gonna run your system with the car running then get the smallest battery you can find that will also start your car and beef up the alternater. If you're doing little bit of both then a deep cycle should work just fine. save the money on the battery for a Opus and a Xenarc. They'll make your carPC run faster and jump higher.
