So, currently have an 07 Civic Hybrid. I know it has a DC/DC converter instead of your typical alternator. So, how would I go about running a second battery in the trunk? I don't like running everything off the 12v under the hood. Current setup- BOSS BV765B 4x QEA QRS65 2x QWX2000-12D4 QEA800.2(adding fans to this today as it overheats and goes into protection mode after a while of playing at high volumes when there's constant highs&mids) QEA2500.1D(this stays relatively cool, only gets warm to the touch really)

@@reyesjose214 yes it will definitely kill both your batteries w/ this typical way of installing a 2nd battery! I'm going to be installing my 2nd battery sometime this week cuz I JUST received my Stinger battery isolator today, (THIS is the part that is missing in this style of install, that will allow you to be confident that you will never have a dead car battery to start your car w/!) You can get an 80Amp stinger like I just received on Amazon for just some pocket change more than $15 greenbacks! Then the installation is more or less the same layout & same amount of wire needed etc, etc..... Just 1 ignition sourced ground location is your only other step involved in an isolator set up... FYI, if you have an extra $20 you can live parting ways w/I'd advise you to go the isolator route, if for nothing else, just piece of mind knowing you'll NVR need to stress bout weather or not your ride's going to start or not (due to audio installation issues that is) cuz you let your stereo play for a few minutes after the engine is shut off.... just MHO....To each their own of course....

He's doing it correctly to.. A lot of people won't ground the secondary battery and it will kill their Alternator" or they"ll Ground it to a capacitor thinking that will work! The best way to do it is already laid out have the amp ran Normal get the "Converters" run the power through them and ground both batteries..Also Kids Learn As they get older like me lol! But Most Deff Hook Up A CrossOver for the bass you'll never go without one again And If Yur Doin 2 Batteries Run the Big 3!! Because you don't even need a second battery if you're just hooking up 2 12s or Two 15s Four 10s to a 1000 to a 2000 watt amp Done it!!

Battery Isolator is good when you want to listen to the radio while the car is off. This is so that if you listen to the radio for too long, the car will still start. If you only listen while driving or the car is running there is no benefit to it. For me it is useful as I have a van and like to hangout in the van and listen to music without the engine running. If I fall asleep or leave the radio on by accident, I know that the van will still start up when I want to drive away.

For starters, it depends on how many amps you are pulling as the alternator is charging those batteries. So to answer your question, yes. You alternator will need to charge those batteries, so if your system is bigger than your alternator can support, then eventually it is recommended to upgrade.

Hi guys. Great video. I'm learning everything i need to know to install 2 new amps in my car. (my old amp finally died) My sub amp has 2 zero gauge power and ground hook ups. My mid range amp has one 4 gauge hook up for each. (DD audio M4b and SS4b) I'm running zero gauge and upgrading fuses. My previous installer had run the ground wire all the way from under my engine bay to my 2nd battery in the trunk. Was that a waste of wire? Your video here makes running new zero gauge ground wire from the engine bay to the trunk battery look unnecessary. I would appreciate some reassurance that for my application it's ok to ground closer to the trunk somewhere. thanks.

Yeah, I hear you about the warranty. I would definitely check on that b4 doing any modifications. I'm not an install professional but upgrading your "big 3" makes a big difference with your voltage. If you can't install like a 300 amp alternator see if you can upgrade the big 3. Which is replacing 3 main cables on your vehicle. The batt ground to the chassis, the chassis to the engine block, & the alternator plus to the batt plus. You'll go from 4 ga to 0/1. Plus a capacitor tends to help as well. I'd say go for 1 farad for every 1K Watts of RMS. I know a little bit but it would be better to talk to a pro. I don't know what you're running but good luck and keep the dB's up 😁

A battery will hold a lot more power than most capacitors. Best $ spent is additional battery and of course a bigger alternator.

There should be a switch between the two batteries that will automatically separate the batteries when the car is switched off to avoid the batteries from discharging each other.Obviously the car battery is older than the one being fitted for the audio set up, so what do you think is going to happen?Rookie mistake

Provo Beast Audio Installation couldn’t you potentially lose starting power to turn the engine since no battery isolator? Also how many amps are you drawing for the added system? It’s possible to overload the oem alternator.

For sure. If we are pulling a lot of amps at the amplifier, then it would be necessary to upgrade the alternator. But for now, the factory alternator will do us. If we were to upgrade the amp, add more batteries, our alternator would need an upgrade.

This is just 2 batteries in paralel. Startup would draw power from the second battery and probably blow up the fuse. This is just like putting a bigger battery in your car. No other benefits.

Two benefits are that battery closest to the amps can feet the amp spikes with less voltage loss and you can fit a bigger total capacity.

@@hakont.4960 I agree Hakon. and Adrian putting a bigger battery in your car is the goal but they don't sell many that will fit so we get a second. It is parallel but the 2nd is grounded remember.

what about a battery tie down and base box to prevent any acid spilling or corrosion (especially in case of accident)? Least I would do is a plastic pan and a good tie-down.

It takes longer to charge after heavy use and adds more draw in the alt and more strain on whole system. Alt needs more power to produce electricity.
