Do I need more than big 3 done?

[fooch]

I have a 2000 watt amp powering my subs and a 300 watt for the speakers up front. I have the big 3 done with 1/0 awg wire. The alternator is 130 amp stock and the battery is an aftermarket Diehard. Whats the best option to do here in this situation without breaking the bank or spending on unneeded things. Should I add a second battery? if so can u recommend me that will get the job done? or would it be better the just have one battery and get a HO alternator(cant do both).

Why do you think you need to do more? Are you having trouble with your lights dimming when your stereo is turned up? Battery going dead?

Lights do dim but its very minimal and the battery only dies when the car is off and it takes about 10 mins to die.

I suggest reading this - That is everything you should need to know about a car's electrical system and how to correct system-induced electrical issues.


Also, if you continue to completely drain your battery (meaning it needs to be jumped) I would suggest getting a new battery. Unless you have a deep cycle battery (which I doubt), completely draining it is bad on the battery.
