i was always puzzled why people add a second battery, unless you listen to the stereo without the engine running, that battery does not serve much of a purpose by itself...

the Cap is a much better way to go.. increase your power with a larger alternator...

cap will get you that extra bass you may be looking for, 1 farad per 1000 watts

a cap is a good idea anyway, keep some of the load of the alternator
