Well I was wondering cuz I am redoing my car audio and later on I wanted to add a DVD player along with 3 screens. Won't this drain the crap outta my battery? I plan to redo my HU, add components, a 4 channel amp for the components, a sub, and an amp for the sub. I will change out my battery to a Optima Yellow Top. I want to know for future reference what will I do about the obvious battery drain. I wanna add one 7" in dash screen, two 6.4" headrest screens and the DVD player all courtesy of DSCustoms.com. Is there anything that can help aid the car battery and help prevent total drainage?

Thanks,
Ryan

 

Get another battery.
Some company sells a dry cell battery specifically for those kind of things.
Two batteries is better than one.

 

might need a new high power alternator as well...

 

Please do not do this. It is not needed unless you are adding a TON of amps. This will cause more harm than good as you alternator will die shortly after.

The yellow top also isnt really needed unless you plan on playing the system/video while the car is Not running.

A new alternator is also most likely not needed, but depending on what amps/power you plan on using.
