I just came up on a spare trojan and now I would like to throw it in my everyday to help with the bass. I've been on one batt for about 2 years now with a fat OG Zeus amp. That Zeus just drains the shit out of my electrical system. Is this overkill? I've seen guys with 2 batts with less wattage?

i have a second battery just hooked up in parallel to my factory battery..... it seems to do fine, i never notice a voltage drop while jammin

Where in the engine compartmemnt do you find room to mount another battery. Does it look clean? Or just kinda thrown in there?

isolators seem like a straight forward install. i have never put one in, but they "seem" pretty easy?

i've never seen an extra batt under the hood on a car except a few diesels. as for the batt isolator it is very simple to install usually 3 wires 1 wire to car batt , 1 wire to stereo batt
1 wire to alt.

alot of the g body cars have a battery tray on either side, due to the different engine configurations, they had battery's to go on one side or the other. so it would be easy to add a second battery under the hood of one of those cars.
