OK, are upgrading the battery, alternator, adding capacitors, and grounding kits REALLY absolutely positively necessary in order to facilitate a reliable working upgraded sound system? I am sure ya'll have seen what I am adding to my truck on the other threads( 2 JL amps, 1 a 300/4 pushing 2 sets of Alpine component speakers and the other a 500/1 pushing 2 10W3's, with an AVIC-Z2 HU). I know a lot of people think the factory battery sucks, but then again I also have not had any problems from mine. I also have not added anymore stuff to my truck yet that would demand more power. It just seems like whenever I find myself adding something like upgrading my entire stock system to my 07 Titan, I find myself hearing all of these little things, that I did not anticipate, like alternators, batteries, and such.
I mean I could understand doing necessary upgrades to keep for example headlights from dimming, but are all of these upgrades necessary, or is it just getting to the point that hey this battery is better, or this alternator puts out more power, so it is better. I know a lot of you know what you are talking about and are really into upgrading the audio stuff which is great. If I did not respect your opinions I would not be here to begin with with my 1,000,000 questions. At least for me, I am all about something being functional, and it does not ALL have to be maxed out with the best stuff out there.
I guess what I am trying to ask, is what upgrades are neccessary and needed, what MIGHT help, what is just...bulletproof and covers all the above, and what is not necessary, but also wont hurt to upgrade either?
