with the sub, amp, uhf, alarm (ect) installed, obviously my battery is feeling the strain. Apart from a dual battery system, any suggestions for getting longer lasting power?

Bass requires Current and power...
A Capacitor stores current and releases it on demand..
So even though your Battery maybe 550CCA, A Cap can store Big Voltage and release it when your amplifier needs it.. Less strain on your battery and less voltage drop

(Turn on your AC with your headlights on and watch the voltage drop)

cca= cold Cranking Amps
