eastwood Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Another good alternative to a yellow top is the super start agm from oriely or the diehard platinum agm from sears or napa. The super start is basically a rebadged deka. That plus the big 3 and I think you'll be okay even though it's a "1500" watt system after box rise and what not you'll be lucky to have a 1000 watts actually going to your speakers. cool. I'll look at them. Wish i had planned my upgrades earlier. 2 months ago the batter died so just went to O'Reilly s and got a new one. Was like 119$. Wonder if they'll do some kind of trade in/up. Hate to just discard it after 2 months. With everybody's response I'll probably get an xs but I'll still check those out. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osixfrontier Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yeah I was looking to get xs too. But ah per dollar the super start came out cheapest.

eastwood Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Well xs is out. They're too big for my car. Was looking at the d1200 or the d975. Both are much larger. Yellow top on amazon is 179. Super start agm is 165. Deka is 144 plus shipping. Guess it's between those 3. Deka has a little more cca, but all have right at 50ah.

Guest Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 What are your battery space dimensions? I am sure you could could an XS Battery in that spot. Also, I know you just did the wiring but if I were you I would redo that ground and cut the wire short enough so there isn't a loop like you have it. And it is also worth your time to run your alt positive wire around the opposite side of the engine bay since it would be alotttt shorter than you have it now. You want all your wires to be shortest length possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want all your wires to be shortest length possible. 10 x 8 is pushing it. Would be right against the fuse holder and overflow resivoir. It said not to route the cable near places of heat like radiators and valve covers. The radradiator it's very high on this car. If I ran it right on top of the cross member that goes across the car it would be an inch away from the rad. If it was still on top of the cross member but more towards the front of the car i don't think the hood would close. I guess I could go through the rad support area and run it by the horn. Even then it will be like 3 inches away. I think the cable is too thick anyway to fit in that area. I know I should shorten the ground. Just don't have a crimper. When I get the battery next week I'll buy one. At work we just use a hammer but I've read here don't do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You def have space for an XS battery...in fact there are several that are too small for your car! lol And don't hammer crimp if you can help it, either solder the connections or hydrolic crimp them.

SkarredSierra Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Dont forget to put a fuse on your run between the alt and positive post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwood Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I just want to run the biggest batt I can so I don't need one in the back. If the up front one fits I'm not sure it would be enough for the entire system. I think a mechman 240 and a yellow top will be ok for sub 2000watts.

What do you think 250-300 fuse. Saw another thread and it seemed to be the response given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
