I ran a Duralast Gold from Autozone before I switched out to an Optima yellow top. Battery seemed to be pretty good, replaced mine after it took a hard fall from a work bench while being re-charged and cracked the casing open (dead alternator killed it). IIRC, battery runs around $80, but can catch them on sale pretty frequently.

hmm. that might be worth a try. i might try and use what i had in my BMW to power the system and eventually go to a lighter one.

if you are looking to run a separate battery you should look into a specific one made for audio, they discharge and recharge quicker since they are not required to start the car. Some brands to consider would be Kinitek, batcap and several others. But you would also need to figure out how to charge the battery.

I still use an interstate battery. I paid 95.00... had it for 2 years..never an issue. BUT both batterys (primary and secondary) should be equal in age and size. and def use an isolator. I used a PAC brand.
