I just got a new XS power battery for under the hood. I have seen that you should give them a full charge before installing them. Is there anyone in the Sacramento area that has a charger that would be willing to let me get a charge? I am willing to pay if need be but I just want to make sure I take care of this batt so that it will take care of me.

if you have a dmm, check the voltage. if its 12.6 or up, you should be good to throw it in. the last one i ordered was resting at 12.9 when i opened it up.

Sitting at 12.82v sounds good to me. I can't wait to get this thing in. I've been battling distortion issues for a while I really think this is going to be my resolve. Big 3 and batt should be in this week and I couldn't be more excited.

With the voyage drop I am getting it should make a significant difference. I've done everything to this point except a batt and big 3. I'm only running 1000w so an alternator shouldn't be needed.

After tuning my amp with a DD-1, and running 1/0 wire. I have found that when I play my sub in the higher volume my VC gets extremely hot. I also found my voltage getting into the 12.4 range. With a battery that should keep me up in the 13v range I can see this making a big difference.

I plan on making a video for a before and after test. I will post my results to either prove or disprove my theory about voltage drop/current rise Vs distortion.

It will help because if you dd-1 with the car off your voltage will be at batt power so if your voltage drops it won't distort untill you hit batt voltage if your dropping low.

Very good. I will retune that way. This goes against everything I've read. But it makes sense when you put it that way. I'll try anything at this point.
