need advice...

[chevyboy831]

so, i own my 99 yukon, and a of now, ive got my single 15 runnngs 1000 watts rms and my doors at 300 rms, im looking at adding a 15 and running 2000 watts rms, and keeping the dors at 350. i know im gonna need more juice cuz the truck can barely ande it at high volume.... so im looking at adding a battery, a good cap, and i hope theres reliable high output alternators out there. im basically looking for some direction as far as placement for te second battery, additional parts i may need, where to find these parts, and anything else you guys can think of. do my own work so labor is no issue. thanks guys.

I would also recommend you do the "Big 3 Upgrade" also if you haven't done so yet. (see in tech info forum)

Also for the extra battery, there's a spot for it on the drivers side right across from the original. If you don't already have a tray there, I would check out your local recycling yard

so.... ill be adding a direct cable from the alternator to the battery and running a parrallel ground wire while adding a block ground? and this is going to make my charging loop shorter. when i add the second battery, should i do this for that battery? so it would be a big 6? lol

Basically this helps in getting the most power from your alternator and batteries.
When I hooked up my 2nd battery, didn't bother with an isolator, hooked batteries in parallel but grounded each battery separately. So 1 charge wire charges both batteries at the same time.
