I pull my batts when the season is over and place them on trickle chargers on the bench until the first season outing every year and have never had battery issues on any of my boats.
Are your rear speakers wired in parallel, I had an issue also when I cranked it up, head unit would shut off. There was two speakers per side (2 ohm load). I disconnected the rear speakers problem went away. I don't have an amp feeding those speakers yet. Hope that helps.
Im rocking the old school fosgate punch 150 with one 12`` fosgate, new battery( tried the two battery, didnt make much of a difference) polk 6.5 x 4 with a sony deck. any ideas?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Perko switch" ......?
I'm about to install a 2nd batt as I am having the same problem with my stereo... Would you all recommend this over a perko switch?
