blownengine Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 The biggest battery your space limitations and wallet can fit. You can't have too much battery.

That1Kid Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Why not just get a good battery up front? D3400 or a D3100 if it will fit. Quote -98' Ford Expedition (Rest in Peace) -AVH-P3300BT -Crescendo BC5500 -4 18" DC m2 Level 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sps1989 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 but what is the minimum that i should do? and would replacing the main battery be better and or easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That1Kid Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 It would just be a swap with your stock battery. And I wouldn't be looking at minimum necessary...if it were me, I would go with the biggest that you can fit. D3400 would supply your amps very well.

From my experience the D3400 holds up well for 2000w or so. But if you can fit it, I'd definitely suggest a D3100. Quote Bassless once again.

soundcheck11 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 optima yellow tops are alittle more wallet friendly but id get 2 of them with optimas you dont want to mix "off brand" batteries so get one for front and one for back. but like everyone else is saying get a D3100. the price of one of them is the price of 2 optimas.
