mchampa Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm looking to add an XS battery to a new build. Will be using Rockford P500X1 & P400X2 amps. Which XS battery would be recommended for power? Also, 12 V or 14 V battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Do you already have a battery under the hood? I'm not sure how how much you know about car electrical so I would tell you go 12v. to be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbass98 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 You would be just fine with a xs d3400 12v 06 monte carlo 2 12 rockford p3s soundstream rubicon 2500 crescendo audio mezzo 6.5 ct sounds 125.4 execution audio and shca wiring 2 xs d3400 on stock alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrakes Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 12 volt. Unless you have a ho alt and an external regulator to run at 14 or 16 volts.

Rmichael91 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Whats the vehicle? Stay 12v. With the space, a d3400 would do you fine. Solved my issues so far until I start my substage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusOn20s Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 what size alt do you have? may not even need batteries I have a CT Sounds 1400.1 on bone stock electrical, not dropping below 13.5 full tilt according to my bass knob. Voltage according to the EVIC is 13.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLuejoules Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 3400 under the hood should be good IG: devinthydude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
