CanUFeelMe Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Ok, I'm looking into buying either a XS D2700 or an XS D3100 battery.... Issue is that I am only allowed one battery in the class that I am running. I can barely fit the D2700 in the stock battery location, and the D3100 is way to big to fit. Question is: Should I just deal with the D2700 and keep it in the Stock location, or go with the bigger D3100 and just put a distrobution block under the hood and run the battery in the trunk?

Junior Russell Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 id say run a distro block and go with the 3100 that way if you ever upgrade what you got or switch classes youve already got your wires and everything done and can put another bat under the hood Quote http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrys95civic Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 My concern with it being in the back and only running 1 battery is it being so far away from the alt, I'm not sure you would get a steady flow to the batt. I'm thinking your amps would discharge your batt faster then it could charge being so far away. I could be wrong I have been drinking with my wife since 6 LOL.

People run rear battery only in hot rod and race car type applications all the time, the battery getting good current is more dependent on run large enough wire fom up front to that. I run a rear mounted battery in my Trans Am and have never had an issue. Places like Summit sell kits specifically for relocating your battery to the trunk.

CanUFeelMe Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 In the class I can only run 1 run of 1/0 which is done, Yes its farther from the Alt, but at the same time its closer to the amp.

CanUFeelMe Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think I'm just gonna put the D2700 up front.... Only running a red top right now, so I can't wait to have double the storage capacity!

Nightshade Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Definately put the battery under the hood. I wouldn't ever reccomend just running a battery in the rear unless you want to burn up your alt. If you could run 8-10 runs of 0/1 then it may not be a problem, but since you can't your going to thank yourself for keeping it in the front of the car.

Junior Russell Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 ^ x2 didnt know that you could only run 1 run of 1/0 at the time Quote http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo129 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Just go ahead and put the 3100 in the back. And later on if you decide you can put the 2700 back up front, then have 2 batterys when your not competeing Quote 02 Civic Si Stock Alt Kicker 0 gauge wire Shuriken SK-BT80 Battery JL Audio J2 320.4 Planet Audio BB 2400.1 Fi BTL 18 ufo motor My 02 Si Build! http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
