Current???

[racin4JC]

Here is my dilemma I just put on some Air Suspension from Rick aka. Forbidden (thanks man, awesome and crazy fast setup give him a call) and when I have compressors running stereo going gauges and streetglows I have some lacking on power. I was wondering what the best way to add current is, I'm thinking second battery but no room unless I can fit it under the hood somewhere. Any ideas or what are you other Air Riders doin for power.

Thanks for any help!
Hopefully pics of my setup soon!

I have a upgraded alternator and two red top optima batteries. I used the red because they can charge and discharge the fastest. The easiest thing you could do to add a battery to the trunk.

I have to agree with Nosweat. I had the same problem when I was running lots of power in my sound system. Add a second battery and upgrade your alternator. Make sure you us a batter isolator also. This isolates your main battery so it stays at full charge.

im getting a major system hooked up myself, but you have 2 batteries and high amp alt?.......what exactly do you have that requires all of that? (just curious because i dont wanna underpower the stuff i have in the pipeline)

Ok so I'm thinkin second battery will solve my problem (maybe alternator later if I wreck a couple, got to use that lifetime warranty on it!). But isn't there a couple of people who have added them under the hood in place of the overflow tank for the radiator, because right now that is the only room I really have, I could MAYBE sweeze one in the trunk but to keep it clean and wiring easier would like it under hood.

yeah more batts im getting 3 put in my trunk i say you could mount them in the rear quater pannels if you have a 2 door there a lot of space there just take all the plastic pices off youll have to drill some hole and also get a couple of small batteries cause the hole isnt that wide but it would work!
