FaTbOy911 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Best charger for xs batteries is there charger its 200 bucks Quote Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.

splmark Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Look for a agm battery charger and using an inverter would probably take more amp to run then its putting out so ur volts will go down.

kryptonite Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 The xspower charger is one of my best audio related investments. Top my bank of 4-3100s off in about 30 minutes and floated at 13.2 afterwards.

penguin3820 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 k soo Ill invest in the xs one... butttt whats the best way to charge it? I live in the 2nd story of my 2 story building and my parking spot is about 100 feet from my front door... My question about charing with the inverter was like an assbackwards way of charging while the amp is turned off.... like a since I cant run an extension cord to it easily I would just use an inverter to it on my way to and from work every day Quote 2004 F150 super crew 15" fi btl Ma Audio hk4000d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
