redman850 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Ok my XS Power d3400 just came in the mail today. I am wanting to know where i should put it. I think i will leave the redtop as the starting battery. Should i place the d3400 under the hood or put it in the back close to the amp. i have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe by the way. I have two amps one MB Quart ONYX.4.125 for highs and mids(Rockford Fosgate Power 1652-S (2 sets)) and one Hifonics brz 2400 for the subs((2) RE Audio SXX 15d4s). Should i run the amp for highs and mids off the redtop or just run everything off the XS Power D3400. Thank you all in advance Also where can i get some good wire and terminals to do the Big 3 Upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXdriver11 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 If you have room put it up front. Wire i use is knu, but there are plenty of good brands out there. You are gonna want to get another xs batt and replace that red top.. Red top os a good battery as i have my old one still in storage, but the xs is a performance beast. I notice less voltage drop on the xs. I use to get into the low 12's with the red. Since i added the xs i never go below 13. And technicaly you will be running off of both batteries. Check ebay for terminals and some knu wire.. Quote Rebuild Log with the SMD CURRENT..

Robert8252 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I would just run the 3400 and take the red top out. Just get a smaller XS in the future to put in back Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt14 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Op, I have a 2006 Yukon (same as your 04 tahoe) and added a second 3400 under the hood behind the coolant reservoir. You could go to your local gm dealer and ask for a hd battery tray and hold down. It cost about 35 dollars and the 3400 fits perfect there. The only issue I had was that the grounds were touching the hood once closed. Just re-positioned and all.good.

hdorre Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I would just run the 3400 and take the red top out. Just get a smaller XS in the future to put in back me too. The 2 batteries should have slightly different resting voltages. When the wet-cell and AGM get wired together, who voltage would try to "level out." That would result in the batteries not having as long of a lifetime.
