Batteries

I Was wondering if its possible to hook up two Batteries with different amprage up (* I.E 850 & 600 *) is it possible to put them in a Series or Parallel? Just a Question Thanks guys

You can run them in parallel, (in series will double the voltage and may damage many components in the car), but you should use an isolator. Multi battery applications can be trickey. The battery with the best charge will always try to bring up the other(s) and it becomes a pendulum effect that will eventually drain all the batteries in matter of time.

Do you need more "engine off" playing time? Or do you feel the system isn't getting enough juice? A 2nd battery will only addresse the amount of time you can play the stereo without the engine running.
