    FYI...your battery begins to charge ~12.6V I believe. If you drop below that, then you start pulling power from the battery. So unless your engine is off...why is your battery important with an audio install?

    Cranking amps is what's important with starting your vehicle. As long as it starts my car I'll use it.

    Do you have any information that says a battery is important to your audio system once the engine is on? I'd rather not use "experience" since it's wildly subjective and based on a number of variables.

    I haven't found any academic proof that says a solid 12V battery source is necessary to run in line while utilizing 120amp/13.6V source.

    How many 20amp outlets does your home theatre require?
