Then get 2-1 farad capacitors for your amps... upgrade your wiring from 8 gauge to 4 gauge. And if you decide on a new battery, look into getting an Optima Yellow or Red Top battery.

I agree with all of this

If you have the money, a high amp alternator is great for virtually any system. But, a cap or two would work great also.

You shouldn't need a new battery (although I'm not sure the size of the stock accord one) but if you do want to upgrade, look into the Optima ones mentioned.

And you should upgrade to 4 gauge wire definitely, at least for the larger amp.

Hope this all helps:thumbup:
