im just going to get a bigger alternator and a new (powerful) battery. optima are too expensive. im going to that battery discount shop on moss st instead
who's arguing, not me?

When you drain a lead acid battery it will never hold full charge again.
Might want to check with an auto electrician about your alternator.
As for draining your battery, you should never run a system with the power your running without the engine going in any case...
