MACnonsence6 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 so i currently have 2 stock style lead acid batteries as well as a kinetik hc600. im looking to add a hc 1800 up front and get rid of my lead acid batteries all together while keeping the hc600 in the rear. the hc 1800 doesnt have side posts and id like to keep my big cables off of my stock battery conections just for cleanness. the hc1800 im looking at comes with stock style battery posts so im wondering what you guys do to make or adapt a top post to now have side posts i was thinking a solid copper bar bend then threaded would work but im also not entirely sure where to get such a thing http://www.ebay.com/itm/Copper-Bar-Stock-1-4-X-1-2-X-10-electrical-terminals-bus-bars-etc-/131176601918?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e8abc193e thinking about picking up something like this cutting it to lengh bending it into an L then threading it I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr DeeBeez Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 this is what i did they clamp onto the posts, and have a threaded hole at the end to screw it in. only like $5 at autozone i think. not too expensive Fi Team 18's (4) Crossfire 16k Crossfire 400.4 & 800.4 Pioneer AVH-X491bhs 140ah cmax CES 320's (2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'sgetdegrees Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Whatever route you go get rid of the lead acid batts asap and try not to run the kinetik with them. They could all drain each other. 05 Escape 2 Ascendant Audiio Mayhem 15s dual 1 Populus Audio 6500 (the only one around ) 1/0 SHCA OFC XS 3400 under the Hood XS 3100s in the rear X2 Pioneer 80 Prs Pac Prv mids and highs 2 8s per door 1 tweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbg Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Whatever route you go get rid of the lead acid batts asap and try not to run the kinetik with them. They could all drain each other. I run lead acid up front(deka) and a hc2400 in back. Never drain out at all. Both batts rest the same and charge the same. I just put a battery tender on one-two times a week to make sure they get topped off. 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.

bcbrassard Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 From what i understand running reg batts & AGM batts together are a bad idea Period! They dont function properly and would do it. To OP, the make adapters from top to side mount so you could run everything seperately like you like. I have an optima i got for free and plan to upgrade at some point and do just what your asking. The Blue top has side & top post so this is what i did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nice....Looks clean. Those adapters where exactly what i was talking about. I even has a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
