I have had some long conversations between my audio tech & my mechanic after installing the power amp in the trunk and the conclusion was that 2 batteries requires the alternator to continually run trying to charge both of them with inadequate capability. Upgrading the alternator to run 2 batteries would solve the problem but cost lots of $$. The quick & dirty answer to my problems, using my trickly charger once a week to keep my regular battery at full capacity and that seems to be really helping.
