  1. i know that there are a lot of these posts but i also have another question rather than which brand i should buy.

    first off i have a kinetik 2000 and 2400 right now. 2000 is under the hood

    was wondering if buying a xs d2700 and d3100 would do me better. 2700 under the hood

    also how would the xs do in the cold weather (i.e under 20 degrees)

    when i go to the xs website it says to buy these with the 3100 Suggested Accessories: i-BAR, 580 (“short” SAE posts) is this neccesary?

  2. couple questions

    how many batts do you have?

    what is each batt reading with the car running and with it off?

    2 batteries kinetik 2000 in front 2400 in back

    car off it reads 12.4, car on 11.9 volts which is why i think its the alternator but it reads 11.9 with system on heat and headlights.

    just put in a duralast gold battery and now its at 12.1 with car running

    the guys that did all my install said that the kinetiks cant hold a charge in this cold weather and that the duralast i put in is reading what it should be at

  3. ok so my batteries are at 12 volts literally are not being charged by the alternator i think but i called the shop and they said because it is so cold the batteries are not working that well. it is 10 degrees outside. i have kinetik 2000 and a 2400 in the car. they said under 20 degrees the deep cycle batteries suck but when i drive it stays constantly at 12 volts no higher no lower but with no heat or my system on. what do u think they are lying or this is true

  4. ok so i have my system on when i pause the music there is a sound coming from my subs. i know this is weird but it sounds like a harley idling but very low you can barely tell its there when the music is low when the music is loud couldnt even tell. also the subs are not moving at all which they shouldnt be because the music is not playing. what do you think is the cause of this?

    maybe a loose connection somewhere?

  5. ok when i play my music my voltage never drops below 12 volts (have the big 3 done, HO alternator and 2 batteries (kinetik 2000 and 2400).

    just got new subs in (fi bl) and played it lower than i usually do with my alpine type x's.

    so basically with the type x's the amp only shut off sometimes (when i play the volume on 25) but voltage would never be below 12 once again. i played the volume on 23 with the bl's and it did it today.

    when this happens 2 things either happen the amp shuts off and i restart my head unit and it plays like normal or the fuses blow and i have to replace them.

    i have the same amps on the subs (alpine pdx 1.1000) and only one run of 0 gauge going to the back and through a distro block (4 ways 1 amp for each sub, 1 amp for highs, and a battery)

    what do you think is the cause of the amp shutting off?
