Yeah i would say twin batteries too.

I ran i a twin battery setup in my old Lancer ( Was doing car audio comps at the time), and to make them charge i ran a rather large relay ( can not for the love of me remember what size it was). I ran a spare accessory wire from the deck to the back, and used that to turn the relay on.

had a small sealed battery from a golf cart in the back layed down. Worked a treat, don't think i ever got voltage drop. ran 4g from front to back battery, then 0g from battery to amp.

This was only for a 2x200wrms setup ! But, it sounded perfect, and back in '02-03, was one of the few cars down here that ran it.. scored 138.8db off 2 x 10" Clarion Subs.. Box design ( as most installers will tell you) is always a winner.

another quick question.... I got a Eclipse Titanium 12" Sub (sw9122) i think - I was told that i need 2x 1507 to run it as its a moster of a sub.... is this true or will 1 do? im not after the loudest system but want good sound. then i go back to my first question, if i got only 3 amps then will the capp do or do you think i will still need a second battery.

Thanks for your help

shouldn't need two amps to power that thing. actually you'd get the same power into it by running it in series by one amp @ 2ohm as you would get running two amps each running one voice coil. Its also a bad idea to run a single sub off two amps unless you know a lot about what you are doing and have a voltmeter (i think thats the name of the tool im thinking of?) to match each amps power with the gains.

750w @ 2 ohm comes pretty cheap these days. shouldnt be hard at all to find an amp for around $300 second hand that could power that sufficiently. i think i sold my last amp that made 900wrms for $250 not to long ago and it was practically brand new.

look for something that makes between 750 - 1000 w RMS @ 2 ohm and you'll be laughing. unless you've already got the 1507's - in which case more info on them...
