In car audio applications it was very common to see higher quality ofc wires. Almost every competition system would utilize anywhere between 0.5 to 1 farad capacitance at the battery. I have seen systems with multiple batteries and multiple capacitors for competition.I have been told that having the appropriate capacitance allows the battery to function with less distress since instantaneous demand would be covered by the capacitor and the deep cycle battery would have a "buffer" in a mannor of speaking.
One category in the auto stereo world is called the iron man competition. They basically run the system at 110 to 130 db with a bass sweep cd and the last car playing music wins. Optima owned this category!
I liked the Red top batteries for my high compression racing motors. They had the best cold cranking amperage.
I would think the more capacitance you put at the battery the better!
Nice work on your project Dave! It is one great looking item. The digital read out is very nice.
