Cheers guys and custard dude, I'll inform him. No doubt he'll come out with a reason why he doesn't need another battery as obviously I'll be wrong but hey, what can you do
Cheers
You could tell him what OcUK think of him.

I tend to listen to much more music when I'm in the car tbh. Always got music on when driving.
I don't even have a sound system at home lol.

I'm actually interested how you can possibly justify this.

All decent car sound systems have more than one batter, an leisure battery is better than a car one, but don't get it from halfwits, the are £30 more expensive than a normal motor factors

fixed.
Because they still live with their mum, and if that Aiwa system ever gets turned above 1.5 they get yelled at.
Heh.
No. Just no.
If I want to listen to music at a decent volume and someone else is in the house who will get annoyed, I put on my headphones, I don't go and sit in my car.
Setting up a good car audio system is certainly an interesting challenge, it's a lot harder to do than a home audio system, but the home audio system has the automatic advantage because you'll be putting it in a nice simple square room with plenty of room for decent speakers and amps, and an ample amount of power available.
Of course if you spent £50,000 on decent well thought out kit to put in your Ford Escort and £200 on an Aiwa mini system for the home, the car audio system will be superior but assuming equal amounts of thought, planning, research, effort and spending go into both, the home audio system will win almost every time.
I say almost because I know someone will come along and post that they live in a 60s concrete nuclear bunker, or a hole in the ground (or more likely, a basement) and the acoustics are terrible.

Completely agree, it is an interesting challenge - even just setting up a fairly basic system is much more difficult than setting up most home audio systems.
The notion that car audio will be better than home audio is laughable though - given any budget, the home setup will always sound better for the same amount

My home system (the stereo portion anyway) only cost about £650-700 new which is nothing in real hifi terms but it IS real hifi, and it sounds lovely, if I do say so myself. I would be curious as to what is involved to make a car system sound so smooth, balanced and separated properly within a car environment!
Car audio 'competitions' are normally about making as much noise as possible. Which isn't hard. But quantity != quality.
