well let me tell you this. on stock electrical most powere people can put on their car is 1000 rms. anything more and youl have some serious voltage issues. the only thing another battery will do is extend the period of time you can listen to your system with the jeep off. How many watts are you running. because if its no more than 1000 youl be good. And the lights dimming very little isnt that bad but if you can notice it in your headlights when you drive at night its straining your electrical.if it still dims after the big 3 and after the battery you might need to change out your alternator to a higher output one. but thats usually after 1000rms and if it affects your headlights at night.

Do you know of any amps that could fit under the left rear seat where the jack sits?

well the amp i have fits perfectly there in my xj. not sure if it would fit your the same. although im not sure you wanty to keep your amp covered in a small space. it can overheat and get into protect mode.

Those wires are ground connections to other electronics in your jeep or what looks like the firewall. you can use it as a ground.

I can, I actually ran it to the - battery terminal just so it's not flopping around in the engine bay.
