I'm going to be running a BTL15 (fully loaded) powered by a Kicker KX2500.1. I also have a Infinity 4-channel amp powering my interior speakers. I was wondering if my electrical system will be able to handle everything. Right now I have a 200 amp alt, already did the Big 3 all in 1/0 AWG wire. Also have Kicker 1/0 AWG amp kit that will be ran to the Kicker KX2500.1. Have a yellow top up front. Will I be fine for now, or do I need to install a 2nd yellow top battery in the trunk? Or maybe put my yellow top I have now in the trunk and buy a red top for up front. Or would two yellow be better?
it sounds like you are fine but i'd get rid of that yellow under the hood and replace it with a kinetik hc1800. i doubt the bigger kinetik would fit under the hood but the hc1800 is a reasonable size.
btw rather than wasting money on another yellow for the trunk, you can do it right from the start. i only wish i knew about that before i went out and bought 2 yellows for my car.
Well the good thing is that I didn't actually go out and buy the first yellow top battery yet, I was going to today but never got around to doing it, luckily I didnt get it. I'll probably just end up getting the Kinetik HC1800. Will two of these be neccessary or will I be good with just one under the hood? And is $189.99 + $37.99(shipping) a good price for that battery?
1 kinetik hc1800 would supply better current than 2 yellows would. i am sure with the engine off, the 2 yellows would last longer but we know he isn't going to do that.
I'll just pick up one battery for now and see how it does. Then i'm sure i'll throw one in the trunk eventually. Thanks for all the replies, i'll post up pics when I can and i'll let you know how everything sounds when it's all hooked up.
