I own an audio shop and see it all the time. Most just want to add an extra battery for the power and overlook the details (which is usually much easier, cheaper, etc). I am in no way degrading your install just offering suggestions. I would go ahead and buy another Blue Top and that way you have a matched set which will give you way less problems on down the road...
thanks!!!! i was having battery draining problems... i figured it was one lights,amps i plugged into it, im gonna give this a try and see if works better
