Go to a camper/boat dealer and get an isolator. you connect two batteries to it to keep them charged but can use one as the starter battery and the other as an accessories power source. I did that with my boats in the past to camp overnight and run stuff so that I could still start the boat at the end of the weekend.
I think I got it from J.C. Whitney, but that was a long time ago. It is aluminum fins with three post to connect to. center post is the wire from the charging system and one lead each to the two batter + post. Underneath is some diodes. they last forever.

Vehicle batteries are designed to start engines and provide a high power surge. Marine and 'leisure' batteries (in camper vans and the like) are designed to provide a steady current over a long period. Your second battery should be that type, for your sound system, not another bike battery. You'll get much longer use out of that type.

The ones I have seen are the same size as car batteries, but may be bigger than a bike battery. They are called leisure batteries here in the UK and can be bought at boat, camper and trailer centres. Should be easy enough to google!
