Battery recommendation CarAV


So here's what I'm doing. I've installed 5 amplifiers in my old suburban and set them to be switchable from the front seat. If I'm camping I have two 12 subs in the rear barn doors on my suburban and two 6x9's on swivels I can orient towards the rear. I may not be audiophile quality, but it sounds pretty good. I'm also rocking a refrigerator in the back as well for beer (powered by an inverter). I've configured it for dual batteries that are connected via a switch. This way if I run a battery down, I can flip a switch and still crank up.


My question is what brand of battery will give me the maximum run time? I want to get 8 hours, but 4 should be acceptable. None of the amps I'm running in this configuration are massive (probably 200W rms max) and the fridge isn't high current (used to run on the cigarette lighter in the 70s before it's built in inverter died). Who makes the best battery for this application?
