Question Too much stuff drawing power..

Anyone ever tried to put a bigger battery in there car? Like more cranking amps and stuff to see if it keeps up better with alot of power draw? I have a everstart maxx (one for the car) and when I run my bottle heater and stereo it seems to stuggle keeping up. Any ideas? 95' Trans Am, stock alternator, 4 gauge to everything. I have a digital6 to run, bottle heater, stereo w/ capacitor, gauges, and a few other little things.

Default

A bigger battery will only "delay the inevitable" drop in voltage.
If you upgrade the alt, you should be in better shape.
Add up the amp draws and see where you stand, vs the alt size.
