I have been running my system on the stock battery for too long now. I am looking to upgrade to a battery specifically designed for high powered audio systems. I am seeking advice on the various brands available such that are applicable for a '01 Honda Civic. Any help will be appreciated

THIS IS FOR EVERYONE! A car battery is only used for starting the car not running the accessories of the car. The altenator does that, upgrade your altenator to as much amperage as you want, you won't hurt anything by having a high-amp alt.
The vehicle only takes the power needed to run the accessories of a vehicle.
Batteries are for starting cars, REMEMBER!

placed the audio gadget on a bigger stand on my own battery and recharge it at night on your storage that way you will get excitement from the music until ultimately battery is used up then if the battery is sufficiently huge then it is going to final all day and you desire no longer project approximately no longer having your music, or no longer waiting to initiate the vehicle after an prolonged holiday. different answer is to have greatest conceivable battery, your gadget will run off of the battery yet to maintain it charged up you will might desire to plug the gadget up interior the storage to maintain the battery totally recharge, if the battery is going down on an prolonged distance holiday then you definitely is probably no longer waiting to initiate the vehicle, answer is to maintain a conveyable starter battery %. interior the vehicle to leap the battery if so on occasion, you're able to desire to make beneficial the %. is saved charged up. Get greatest conceivable battery and have the regulator adjusted or replace so an analogous alternator will fee the large battery, by employing no longer reducing off, it is going to take an authority to decide this danger. risk is sturdy that your latest regulator interior the charging gadget is adjustable. Get a smaller 30 amp. amplifier you do no longer desire 50 amps, it truly is undesirable for you listening to gadget any way, you could pass def proper away.

Joe is right...but....if you play your system while sitting in the parking lot often then a standard battery will not hold up very well. They are not intended for cycling like that. There is company called Kinetik Power Cells and they make a direct fit for your car...check it to make sure. The model number is HC1400. It's sized for the Civics/Integras...I ordered one last night....list is $349...ouch...check with Sonic Electronix...they discount them...ALOT....FYI...I've used them quite often in numerous vehicles and they are a great battery. Not sure anyone else makes one for our size cars....Good luck.
Almost forgot...here is the website:

a battery like an optima or orbit with spiral wound cells work very well

I've found that deep cycle, dry cell batteries seem to be the best.
