You can't just "wire it in", you need a special adapter that will...
allow you to chage both batteries simultaneously.
Lead storage batteries are very different, even the same model/type, as far as electrical characteristics go.
Just wiring in two batteries in paralell, would cause one battery to drain into the other one.

You probably will not need a 2nd battery...
If you replace your primary stock battery, change the alternator, and get a cap, you should be fine, probably even without the new alternator...Check the fuse ratings, I don't think those JBL amps draw too much current...even the 1200 watt one since it's a class D amp...at 120 amps, plus a battery and cap, this should be enough...
