Well yes, but you're limited by the size of the battery box. My D9 has the biggest battery I could find that fitted in there, it's a 75 amp hour but I'm sure there'll be better in the UK. Alternatively put another in the boot on some sort of split charge system.

battery are rated in amps so the bigger amps the better but make sure you can fit it inthe space
but most big stereo systems ive seen run seprate batterys so maybe a bigger alternator might help?
