jrath Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 The only space I have in my trunk for my battery bank is in the spare tire well. I can fit four batteries in here if I remove the spare tire. Is there any concern that the batteries will get hot in this area? My sub box will sit right on top of them so ventilation will be minimal. I have XS Power batteries.
audiofanaticz Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Should have no issue. Just make sure the sheet metal in the spare tire well is strong enough to support the weight of the batteries.
bentandbroken Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 My battery Is in the same place as a spare would be stock and I have had no issues. So, like He said, just make sure the area will support the weight and secure everything down. Life's a trip. . . Don't fall.
ROLEXrifleman Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 if a battery can survive a summer under the hood with an engine on it'll be fine in the back. Odds are it wont see the max temps since the engine variable is removed Rolex you sicken me. Just let me finish my pie ~ Juice

jrath Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Posted January 6, 2015 For those members with batteries in this area what did you use to secure them down?
Jskiles Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 I cut pieces of wood and screwed them around it. not sure if this is the best way though. Going to redo mine soon for more batteries. 2010 Kia Forte Koup (Slow Build) 2 Sundown SCV-3000D 2 DC XL M1 with PSI reconesFocal R-165s2 on Orion 4800-HPKenwood KDC-X798Knukonceptz OFC 1/0Audiotechnix,Fatmat and Q-mat Deadener XS power D3400 up front 3 D3100s power in trunkStock 110 amp alt 2013 Scion TC 2 Dc lvl 3s with xl coils on Soundqubed 2200 Sundown components AA 50.2 for components Pioneer FH-X700BT Knukonceptz OFC 1/0 Fatmat and Q-mat Deadener XS Power D3100 up front D925 in back Mechman 240 alt http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/189911-2013-scion-tc-build/ <Scion TC Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174094-jskiles-forte-koup/ <Slow Kia Forte Buildhttp://www.stevemead...ockUserAgent__1 < Old build 2005 Equinox
jrath Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Posted January 6, 2015 I was considering the same way with wood between the batteries.
