I just got a new system but its making my battery die. I have a small '06 nissan sentra and if I can I would like to put another battery in there for my system to run off of. But where do I put it? I already have a capacitor for my system, its just not doing its job.
 
I agree that another battery is not a solution, although it might help. Your battery depends on the alternator to keep it charged, and the Sentra alternator does not deliver this much.

First, you need to determine the total power usage of your system. Then add this to the rated output of your alternator, and buy an alternator that is rated at least this much. Then it would be good to buy a battery that is rated for this increased electrical load.
