My understanding of parallel is when you wire it this way which ic negative to negative I believe then you are actually increasing the available amount of power right? Just my understanding I could be wrong!

I have a degree in electronics. That doesn't mean I know it all I just have some knowledge of the theories, and understanding of electronics.
But to Blind34_1 Question. Personally I have done this before. Measure your battery tray for length and width. Then find the maximum allowable height for a battery taking into account the Post height.
Now bring a ruler down to your local Wally world or Costco, or where ever. I personally wnt to Wall-Mart and spent $50 on a Group DT-1 Truck battery. It was 925CA amd 720 CCA with a 100 Min reserve capacity. I stuffed it under the hood of my old '80 accord. Which was quite the step up to the punny little battery that waws in there. Not to mention I Had a 60A alt. I ran a PPI A600 and PPI A204.2 toataling 800 Watts RMS, and Being Class A/B they drew quite a bit of current. Having that moster battery under the hood helped a bit in dimming lights. It didn't cure it but it was a decent alternative to a HO alt, considering that back then it would cost around $600 for a 150A alt for my car. Today HO alts. have become quite a bit cheaper.
