Like posted above I wouldnt Add a battery and keep the stock alt. If your moving the current battery, there is only a need for one wire to be run (Power) preferably 0Aw due to the length.

That the thing i was looking for, battery isolator. As for the charging, cant i just run a + and ground the - on the strut bolt or will it be too much? Ill get a new alternator. I think im going to need a second yellow top because im going to have 2 W7s in the trunk. I was told to only get one but i dont want to listen to it full blast so I rather get two.

Check this thread. One of our 6th gen members just added a single 12w7 to his car. Contact him and see if he thinks a single 12w7 is enough. I'm thinking like Intel, that two are going to be a lot. Also, if you do go with two of them, I still don't think you're going to need to add a second Yellow Top if you already have one.

Just in my opinion would rather have one w7 and a very good amp.. and spend the rest of the money on getting the trunk rattle free. Becuase that is what you are going to be fighting the most with that crazy sub and just a general lack of space if you go ported box. (I think ported is recomended with that sub but I am mostly into SQ subs)

you don't need a second battery unless you plan on playing your radio with the car off for extended periods of time. Save your money and go for a bigger alternator.
BTW, 1 w7 in a maxima is plenty. If you don't agree, change the battery in your hearing aid!
