Calibasshead Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 A little background on me, I'm a 19yr old college student who has been into car audio for about 3 years. Since I am in college I have a budget system going on right now. Since this is a budget system, I don't want to spend too much more money since the spring semester will begin in a few months and I need to save up. I am on the fence about two batteries. The Xp2500 and the Xp3000. I will have a total of about 2400-2500w rms with a MBquart onx2000.1 and RF T400-2. I currently have a die hard platinum g34/78 batt up front with 68aH and a 125a stock alternatorI do plan on upgrading alts later but as I said I'm a college student want to keep prices fairly low. Really what I'm asking is, do any of you believe the Xp2500 and Platinum combined will be able to keep me in the high 12s or low 13s or should I push for the 3000? Obviously the 3000 would be better but will the 2500 suffice for now? . I have 1/0 awg OFC knukonceptz wire ready to be ran to the back battery. Since these are new batteries I couldn't find too much info on these. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biscuitownz Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I would go with the xp3000 seeing that it is only a few more when it comes to $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both batteries are in my budget since essentially this will be my last purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibasshead Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 XS Power d3100! Now this battery IS out of my budget lol. I think the Xp3000 is the most expensive battery I'd want to buy. I was going to go with a 9a31 but XS power seems like the best for voltage drop right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2shuck Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 If you are stuck at $320I would get the xp3000, But I would save $40 more and get a d3100 Quote 2000 Toyota Camry With Sealed Off Trunk Sky High OFC Wiring DC Power 270 XP Alt AQ 2200 Sub Amp Two DC Level 4 m2 12s 80 Mil Murdetmat Gathering Parts For Wall Build.

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Between those 2, I'd shoot for the 3000. You're gonna be pulling more current than your alt can supply, best to get the biggest you can Quote Build in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibasshead Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I figured. By the time I'd get paid again, it would almost be time to start saving again. So Xp3000 it is. Thank you for the quick response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
