(dimming lights) ie; my system would be alot louder if it could pull more amps, but it stops at a certain point cuz theres simply none left. a second batt might help, but only for short periods of time. adding another bat wouldnt let the sound system run off one, its simply adding more available storage for current... which would most indefinatly need to be recharged (on a long road trip my total draw could potientaly kill both batts if i dont have a HO alt that can acualy recharge them ontop of running my car/system). and yes batts are designed to charge once per start up, but im sayin the damand my system is putting on the bat is the same as sitting there an startin the car every second or two, without shutting it off. only a bigger draw, like jump starting another car every second or two... you guys should check out caraudio.com, look under the forums an do a search for HO altenators. ull see lots of people that know alot more about this than i do that can explain it a whole lot better... my theory is right, ask any electricion, he'll tell u the same. i seriously just wanted a simple question answered, i got it, goodbye
