Depends on what kind of power your going to be needing. I have a Iraggi in my trail rig, powering 6 lights, 2 drivers(1400wrms at .6ohms), and some other nick nacks.

All batteries fully charged put out about 12.7 volts. only way to get more juice is adding a second battery. However, there is a 34 (~550 CA) series battery stock, a 24 series (~800, or 1150 CA for the marine version) and a 64 series (~750 CA) will fit, those 2 batteries have higher cranking amps, which will DO NOTHING but make the engine turn over faster, not make the speakers system better.

An amp multiples the 12V from the battery, thats it.

Agreed, the reason yellow tops are admired in the audio community is not for their power, but for their ability to drop way below 12volts and not have any damage done.
