Hey all. Is there a way I can have 2 switchable power sources for my stereo?

I have a second battery installed and would like to be able to switch the power from the main battery to the alternate battery. If we're out just chilling I want to play the stereo off the alt battery and not have to have the key on. Otherwise have the stereo turn off when the key turns off.

Is this possible?

Yes there is. All you have to do is isolate the batteries. Here is a write up I did on dual battery wiring. This one has all the bells and whistles. You would only need the continuous duty solenoid and wiring for your stereo
