    Adding a amp and sub, do I need another battery?

    I have a 97 SN obviously and right now there is a nice pioneer headunit thats in there now. I wanted to just ad a subwoofer and 600ish watt amp that I have kicking around, nothing too serious. Will I be fine the way it is like a normal car? Or do I need to add another battery? If thats the case then I will just leave the subwoofer out of the boat but if I can run it on the normal battery and be fine I will do it. Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks guys

    I have three alpine amps and one battery runs them just fine, but I have another battery installed so when the brain isn't functioning properly and run the music too loud for too long while sitting, I can still start the boat. Paddling Sucks! Reserve power is very handy, used it more than once.

      Should be plenty of power there, but if you like to jam with the engine off, it would be nice to have a backup on a perko switch.
