I'm postin this here cuz not sure if its aftermarket or audio so I picked Audio

I just received my Iraggi alt today 240 amp, doing the big 3 (alternator positive to battery positive, 2) battery negative to chassis, and 3) engine ground to chassis) Right now I have a yellow top D75/35 as my main battery which is like 3 years old. As you Gen 2 owner know the main battery compartment is very small and the box takes all my trunk space and the trunk space I have it barely fit my golf clubs. I know I need to replace the main battery but which battery. The question is which battery should I get to finish the electrical upgrade?
I'm running
RF t10001 - 1000rms - birth sheet 1438rms
Rf P8002 - 800rms
P2002 - 200rms

Hey, when you do the big 3, can you post up a tutorial to go along with it?

Yeah, I know, you can find generic directions everywhere, but I'd rather have a specific set of directions/pics...

Batteries, I would go with the Odessey batteries, some of the few batteries that works well...optimas usually go bad after a few years.
Alpine + Dynaudio = Sonic bliss.

The alt, big 3 and the batcap 800 job is complete. We used 2 gage wires for the big 3. We used 0 gage for the batcap 800. We put the batcap 800 inside the back seat pasenger side panel.
If you are looking to do a second battery in the trunk and want to save space I reccomend the Batcap 800.

The Model 800 weighs 14 lbs. and gives you an unbelievable 800 peak amps! The Model 800 is 30% Cap, 70% Battery
