If your battery is still good, don't waste your money on a new one until it goes bad. What you want is a high-out alternator (250-300 amps). Checkout eBay... https://m.ebay.com/itm/New-High-Perf...m=173337810712.
This along with upgrading the "Big 3" should be sufficient up to a 2000W system. There's a lot of misconceptions about batteries & capicators. Batteries are great for listening when the vehicle is not running, but are not a replacement for a proper power supply. Same with capacitors, their main function is to protect your speakers from a power surge. A capacitor cannot act like a battery, it only serves to fill in what would otherwise be very small dips in the supply voltage. I'm currently installing my system (2500W) and went with a 300A high-output alternator, Kenetik HC2400B Black series competition battery, Memphis Audio 20V 1F surge capacitor, & Kicker 1/0ga copper wire (Big 3 upgrade).
