For lots of audio equipment, what is important is that you have a good alternator. None of the DeLorean alternators will do, so you will have to adapt a high power one to the DeLorean, probably by having a custom bracket made. This isn't particularly hard and most serious audio shops will have a pretty good idea what to do here. The battery just has to be able to handle temporary current draw, which a regular battery handles just fine. If you store the car in the winter, you just have to remember to disconnect the battery first. > and if anyone has tried this before. Most people find higher than average difficulty fitting aftermarket sound into the DeLorean, there's just not much space. If you mean deep-cycle batteries, yes, lots of people use them, but they aren't critical.
