So I am almost ready to put my sub in and I am not sure if I should upgrade my battery before doing so. I am collecting up the supplies to do the big 3 right now so I will have the big 3 done. I drive a 08Civic coupe with the stock battery being 410CCA.

stock alternator is 90amps and the stock battery almost a ride on tractor battery size, I was thinking of getting a battery box and putting a small yellow top in the trunk.
