    Yeah, a foot of wire to hook them up, and a dual battery tray to mount them. I'd go with 2 Optima Yellow Tops.

    Do the big 3 and then see if your lights dim or anything. Then try the other things

    damn. i do that all the time!!!! haha jk. usually its one or the other. i only use my lights when im off road...and i like to listen to my v8 and what im plowing over wether its rocks or little kids. and use my subs when i am driving on road...so i dont think it will be a big problem. I think i will order some of that stuff tonight.

    I would say to do the Big 3 first, that should help a lot. Then get a Yellow Top (~$220) to tie into your Die Hard (I think they'll work together), then get another Yellow Top if that doesn't work lol
