Hii !!!!!!!!

i have two amplifiers
one 1000W
two 1200W

1) in high power of audio my light and many things are "blinkers"
in my car i have a 62A battery so i think if i connect more one battery of 55A it will be good to connect the 55A battery in parallel
to the 62A battery....... it will be ok? it dont destroy nothing??

2) and if will be a problam to connect the 55A all the time to the 62A
so i think to connect the 55A to a RELAY... i means whan i activate
the Receiver the remote control will activate the relay and connect the battery 55A to the 62A.....

it will be good?
thanks

Sounds like a detonator to me. 😉
I would advice you to take your car and batteries to a specialized car-electronics-centre before the whole thing blows up.
Sorry to say, but this relay thing looks quite dangerous.

A common mod in a sedan is to move the battery to the boot, and run decent (4ga) power wire up to engine bay for starter and other car stuff, and then another 4ga from the battery to a distro block for your amps.

A really good main battery (largest 4x4 battery that fits) does help, but yes, you can parallel 2 batteries, i guess you'd have one in the front and one in the back. When you start the car you'll draw from both, and the alternator will recharge both, doesn't bother the alternator to charge 2 batteries, but if you are constantly pulling a lot of power while driving, an upgraded alternator would be a good move to keep the batteries freshly charged.

If you are getting serious dimming of stuff on the beat, a capacitor might be a good move, however i've heard on serious SPL setups capacitors don't cope.
 
Well....

1) Firstly: i should tell you that everything not perfect in your car's electrical system may lead to fire hazard!! So be prudent! Most important put a right fuse near the battery on every wire coming from the positive terminal!!!

2) your blinking is there because the whole electrical system simply cannot give all the power your amps want without a voltage drop. What you need is something that can supply big current:

a) adding a battery MAY help (more instant power + more capacity (allows you to play more without the risk discharging the battery)

b) also simply changing the battery with a better one may help (better I mean: newer, high capacity and, most important, with an high cold cracking amperage)

c) BUT probably if blanking is more than slightly you should have your alternator replaced with a bigger one)

d) Capacitor may also help but ask your dealer to try it.

Bye
