the reason for ur distortion is the jensen 300 watt amp. With that system mate u aint gonna need an uprated battery

in the end i didnt buy new. i baught a pioneer 10" 500w sub and jensen 300w amp from my mate cos he was sellin cheap and he needed the money in hurry. i used the autoleads 720w wiring kit for it if i wanted to expand tho

Surely if u were drawing an extra 25 amps you would have already blown the fuse.......

my mates a leccy and he worked out that wen i have my system going full pelt im drawing an extra 25 amps andhe suggested getting a slightly tougher battery. im sure there are people with bigger systems than me with out bigger batteries so is there really any point?

my system consists of CD player HU, 5.25" front, 6x9s rear and 500w sub/300w amp
