I'd pass on this matey - unless your running something mad in your boot there's just no need for this !!

Just get a good quality calcium based battery - more than up to the job and about half the price !!!

Forget power and start thinking current !!

What's your power cabling like ?

sounds a bit overkill!.. i hear deep cycle leisure batteries can be good.

never had the problems you describe with my audio set up.
Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...

Split charge relay perhaps?
