seniortiss Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I have recently installed my first set-up in my 03 Impala. I have stock electrical (garbage motomaster battery and a 110-amp alt). I installed an American Bass HD-15 running off of a Soundstream 2600.1 D. I have my gains set pretty low, wired to 1 ohm (I know, I know, really fucking stupid on stock electrical) but don't play it too loud or for very long. I'm planning on getting a 1/0 gauge Big 3 kit, and I've looked a bit into batteries. What will I need? Will I need a second battery (or two) or a new under-the-hood battery, or both? I'm lost. But i know I need to do something or I'm gonna wreck my whole charging system or cook my equipment. American Bass HD 15, 4 cubes @ 35 Hz Soundstream LW2600.1 D
Watch the bass Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 If you havent a AGM batt under the hood switch to AGM batts. Here is a nice AGM batt offer out ouf the Hot-deals, geet 2 for the trunk and if you need a AGM batt for under the hood, 1 more. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/144556-dont-seem-like-a-bad-deal/ "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley

I've never heard of this brand before. But then again, I'm pretty new to this. American Bass HD 15, 4 cubes @ 35 Hz Soundstream LW2600.1 D
soundstream15 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 id go with kinetik or xs power. 1 to replace the stock battery and one in the back. of course as well as the big 3
Bship Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 I have a similar setup in the wife's car with an extra XS batt in the trunk and HO alt. I'm running at .5, you should be OK with two good batts.

Guest Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 i'd get a new alternator. anything over like 2000w, you're stepping into territory that batteries cant really solve by themselves.

You get 165 quality AGM batt for 270 $ + shipping, For those amount of AH you have to pay a good amount more if you buy XS or Stinger (Nathan from XS power stated that only the Stingerbatt´s are comparable to XS and XS is the car-audio batt on the market) or all the others like Kinetik and CO. The only brand what i dont can´t sort in is Battcap. "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley
