Default WHAT BATTERY

I have a yellow top optima, but once I install my other 2 amps, I am sure that I will not have enough power to sustain. I am currently running a JL 300/4, but will be adding a 300/2 and a 500/1 to the set up. I was thinking of running a second battery, what one should I run?

If you want to run a second batt, get a red top as your primary and use the yellow top as the secondary. :thumbs:

I just installed a JL300/2 and a 250/1. Do I need to upgrade my battery also?

are your lights dimming at idle, or any other electrical problems at idle ? You shouldn't need a second batt unless your amps are pulling serious power and you want to run the stereo at full power for hours on end with the car off...

My car dims with the bass. And that is only with the 300/4 hooked up. I can only imagine when I add another 800 watts

have you upgraded your alternator yet? What about chaging the magic 3 wires ?
