If your going to run 2 amps just buy another battery. You can run the Battery line for the positive and the ground from the negative. Have a custom steel box mad to fit your second battery and place it in the trunk (obviously you would need a distrubition box). If you are going to run 3 do the same thing. However this time run the small 4 channel amp from the speakers off the car battery. You should get 2 Optima batterys. One for your 2 bigger amps and one for your car/4channel amp. If this doesnt make sense let me know.
Im running 2 Audiobahn amps right now. Off my car battery but its takin a beating. I just bought 2 Optima batteries. One for the trunk for my 2 amps and one for my car. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT RUN THOSE 3 AMPS OFF YOUR CAR BATTERY.
