Silver Member Username: AcevolkovSpringfield, Missouri United Stated Post Number: 149 Registered: Jul-05 | get the battery over the cap, the cap will help with quick bass hits, but its better overall to get the battery. |

Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1441 Registered: Aug-06 | i just dont want my headlights to dim any more. and i dont want my voltage to drop so low my amp shuts off. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8464 Registered: Jul-06 | If you've got a 200 amp alt and voltage is still dropping that low battery capacity is your problem..... get a BIG battery (or several) in there. |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1994 Registered: May-07 | What batt do you currently have under the hood? Is the Big 3 done properly? (assuming you did, hopefully) |
|
Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1443 Registered: Aug-06 | big three was just re-done properly. i have a brand new but stock battery its 575 cca. What battery should i get in the trunk? how many watts rms will a hc2400 support? when wiring up the second battery do i just connect a run of 0/1 to the pos of the other battery. and then the neg i can just bolt anywhere to the body? |

|
Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 1998 Registered: May-07 | Maybe look into ditching that current batt under the hood. If going with kenetic, get the biggest one they have that will fit under the hood and a 2400 for the trunk? ^^^Just an idea, I'm not an expert on electrical so wait for a second opinion. |
|
Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1444 Registered: Aug-06 | yea i would but my under hood batt is brand new. i will wait for it to die. should i isolate the batt in the trunk or does it not really matter. how long will a hc2400 bump for with the engine off. |

" Agreed.....except make the back one the same as the front so you dont have to isolate them. |

Silver Member Username: AcevolkovSpringfield, Missouri United Stated Post Number: 150 Registered: Jul-05 | I strongly advise you change the battery you have to both be dry cell batteries. When you run both a wet and dry battery, something can happen where the charges can vary and can damage both batteries over time. Go to http://www.kinetikaudio.com/calc.asp and follow the directions. OT: Anyone else tired of websites like Kinetik Audio and RE Audio insisting on playing ridiculously loud sounds when you are on their website? |
