if you want a second battery in the boot its gonna work out quite expensive as it\'d have to be a dry cell jobby, looking at best part of £150. just need battery cable and idve thought you just wire it in parallel to the one you have.
how many subs and amps do you have then? do the headlights dim already?
cos its alot of money to outlay.
might be easier to uprate alternator for one from a diesel comby van, change your battery as well :?
