Secondary battery?

[pk_kk]

Hey guys i got a full sounds system and some lights and junk on my car. Plus i'm going to be adding a X-box and 7" in-dash screen. When i start my car and lock the doors the lighing dim a bit in my car. but isnt as bad once i get my car going. Since my amp is wired @ 2ohms i'm drawing more battery. any tips on how i can power everything properly without draining my battery. BTW I have a new interstate battery in my car the i forgot what model it is but it's suppose to be the best one they make.

Okies, so what it looks like to me is A you need to do the big 3....*paces and waits for Rob to post link* and then see about upgrading alternator.....no 2nd battery, merely replace the one you have with a yellow top optima and I'll never talk to you if you mention anything about capacitors...

1-better alt

2-big-3

3 mabe ground upgrades

a extra battery really only helps if u like to listen to ur music when ur car is off....

What kind of alt would you recommend for the new 05 Tacomas?

Sorry for jacking your thread.

If you can fit an Odyssey PC1700MJT or the stronger Stinger version that battery is the way to go. Makes the Optima look like a lantern battery

Here's some good rec's on stronger Alternators.
