    sell the extra battery and you current alternator and get a 150-200 amps alternator that lasts a long time than buy 2 batteries every 2 years no need pa for complicated wiring diagrams. . .

    If the TS wants to wire it would be better, maybe he is an Electrical Engineer like my dad he wants things the other way because he knew it better.

    Err, what he needs is to increase the overall storage capacity as he wants to operate the accessories longer with the engine off. You can install the biggest alternator but it's useless with the engine not running.

    oh,I didn't realize, I thought the TS jus want to add a li'l kick in his electrical system, my apologies. . . but personaly i would'nt try to run the sound system with only batteries supporting it, sabi ng kapatid ko(yes he's a licensed electrical engineer) isa sa mga factors ng pagkasira ng baterya is pag palagi itong nadidiskarga, or at least nawawala sa optimal rating nya. . . hindi ko pa nasubukan na magkabit ng dalawang baterya and paandarin ng 1 hr yung sound system mo siguro nga kakayanin unless naka setup yung sound system, hope everything goes well at update natin tong thread na ito. . .
