anyone got a 2nd battery(for aftermarket audio system) in Gen 6 Carmy trunk?

anyone got a 2nd battery(for aftermarket audio system) in
Gen 6 Carmy trunk? 2007 Camry, in my case...

My system consist of a 625-watt Kicker amp(4+1
channels), capacitor, aftermarket Eclipse DVD navigation
system, vehicle tracking system, Bluetooth phone kit,
CD changer, iPod adapter...

I currently use a Yellow Top Optima battery, but I never
run the stereo system unless the engine is running. The
reason is that I don't have a secondary battery.

What is a good location to install another Yellow Top
Optima battery in my '07 Camry's trunk? What kind
of hardware do I need?

Thanks for any advice!

No need to waste more money on a 2nd battery. Your not running that much power.

I do have a 2nd battery installed in my trunk for my system though.

If you do have dimming problems or significant voltage drops. Try upgrading the front battery to a deep cycle or some sort. Ex: Optima, kinetik, stinger, batcap etc etc.

Also you can do a cheaper alternative. The big 3.
