Default ARB and Battery

So recently I've been using my ARBs often and I also have an 1800 watt amp in the back. My battery has been getting drained to hell! Won't even start on its own today. Bigger battery? Or tech problem?

Your battery should only be used for starting the vehicle... Once it's up and running its your alternator's job to recharge the battery and make sure that the elec. system is running off of the power made by the alternator itself and not the battery... I hope that made sense but pretty much either your battery is crapping out or your alternator is..
