splwizard Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 hey all i have a 1999 taurus with a duralast battry up front thats in decent condition and was wondering whether to get a big capacity battery and put it in the trunk or to replace my duralst with a Kinetik up front and put old battery in the back. I got a new oem alternator running a crunch 3000.1d with 1/0 wire. your honest opinions would help!

TeamHT Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 If you're set on the items listed why not just add the kinetik in the back? Personally...I say go for XS. Also upgrade the big 3 on true 0 gauge Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also upgrade the big 3 on true 0 gauge X2 If you wanna run two batts the put the kinetic in the back and do the big three But like TeamHT said I would go for a XS power batts Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignickk Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 wait you were thinkin about puttin the duralast in the back? is it a sealed battery?a nd your best bet with thoise options would be to put the kinetik in the trunk Quote 2000 tahoe orion hcca 15.4 kicker zx2500 2 JL 300/4s infinity and kicker mids/highs KHC1400 in back, stock upfront dont ask about my HU clarion EQ kicker/fosgate rcas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyBoy95 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 duralast in the back would be a bad idea since it is not a sealed battery, fumes and spillage could occur, and they are harmful.

X2 but i dont see why you would do that anyway. much better off wit a kinetik or XS in the trunk Quote 2000 tahoe orion hcca 15.4 kicker zx2500 2 JL 300/4s infinity and kicker mids/highs KHC1400 in back, stock upfront dont ask about my HU clarion EQ kicker/fosgate rcas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preference is a huge factor and Meade has his tastes, and although many follow the fashion, Meade also goes with specific brands because they work. XS Power works. Simple as that, held charges better, lasted longer, there is no comparison to some of the models. People run kinetik and love them. I used to use kinetik and now I use XS, there is a major difference in performance. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

08tahoe Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Xs power for the batts! And I would do a h/o alternator instead of the oem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
