well, they are full of shyt.  batteries don't give off a poison gas, but they do give off hydrogen gas which under conditions of overcharge can be released from the battery and are potentially explosive.  A battery is basically lead and sulfuric acid (H2S04).  While neither is good for you, they are sealed pretty well in there.  

If you do this, i would recomend a good top quality battery like Optima or whatever other good ones there are on the market to ensure you don't get a leak and ruin your interior.  Also, w/ the great big long cables (even if you use 2ga) you are going ot have resistance and a little more battery is going to be needed to supply the juice you need way up front.

Have you installed a farrad (sp?) yet? If not talk to your local sound shop or even Best Buy. They will be able to help you out on how to insall it, and it would be ALOT easier than installing a second battery.

put in a 1/2 to 1 farad capacitor in line with your system.  it stores power from the battery then discharges when the amp needs the power, letting the battery itself no be drained by the pull from the amp.  easy to install.  it goes in line on your amp power wire.
