Well the topic says it all... I have a normal "high performance" car battery in and also have a cap, but it just isn't keeping up with the power from the system, and once again its about dead... My question is, would say a Stinger "car audio" batter help? Ebay has one here but im not too sure if it will solve the problem... help please! Thanks!

ah, there's your problem
with a big system running at idle speeds it not enough to recharge the battery as fast as it is losing charge to the system.

I'm guessing when you say 30mins you mean 30mins running but playing music...

Anyways, if this is the case, a new alternator MAY be in place, but at the same time...idle isn't meant to run all the appliances sometimes so i doubt it's made to run w/e + a big stereo.
