battery suggestions on a budget

[dionysus]

So my whole build is a slow build and a budget build, but I need suggestions on batteries that are still quality even on a budget. I have a 2004 Ford explorer 4door Eddie Bauer 4x4, stock Mach system other than a indash flip out for now but I'm building my system up piece by piece, what's going in is a CT1400.1 on a 15" L7 (temp sub I had layin around) getting DC 18" lvl 4 XL upgrade or a 18" CT Meso with a second soon after, anyways I'm starting on the battery upgrades before I get the amp, what batteries should I look into on a budget for under the hood and for one for the back, I'm running dual inputs on my amp, plan on going 1/0 wire no doubt, budget but quality alternator recommendations needed too! Thanks for any and all help guys

Batteries last a relatively long time. You should not budget on your battery or power wire, since you said you will be upgrading in the future. I would suggest running a single quality battery under the hood then upgrade to a second in the future.

Ok I pulled up the website should I just start at the exact fit tab? Or are there certain models that are the good ones? If I can be good for a few months on just a solid under the hood upgrade (any brand) and add a second battery after that I don't mind spending a little more on each one if I don't have to buy them both at once

Just seen your post after I posted last. That's what I was saying if I can just get a good under the hood battery and later get a second battery if that'd be ok power wise, its budget but I want to do it right so ill save up a lil longer to get quality

Buy a large XS power group 31 or 34, and buy a Ctek charger for like 65$ and this battery will last you a decade. What is your price range and what power upgrades will you be thinking of doing in the future?

I don't have a set price range cause I know quality costs so ill buy one thing at a time to get quality but I also know the top top of the line stuff is a bit out of reach right now. Upgrades I plan on I'd rather be secondary batteries and just get a good under the hood one for now, I wont even order my amp till about February that's why I want to do main power now

This looks like a good battery that can support your 1400 watt amp and electrical in your car. Haven't heard anything bad about them yet. they are nearly 80$ cheaper than a d3100.
