"i have about 10,000 watts of subs in my truck" what do you mean by this? Amp power or some numbers printed on the speakers somewhere?

If its amp power, what brand of amps are you running that's 10K? If you aren't running multiple alternators already I HIGHLY, doubt you are running that much power.

If the 10K are speaker numbers that number is meaningless at this point.

No matter how many batteries, if you can't charge them your wasting your time. Before you can get a honest answer we need know exactly what your needs are, not fictional numbers on either the amps or the speakers.

We need to know year, model, gear etc...
