How Big Of A Battery Do I Really Need?


Recommended Posts

alright...so im starting to build a new setup. heres the specifications:

1. 4 12" L7's

2. 2 crunch pzi3000.1 ( 1500 rms each)

3. 200-250 amp alternator

4. 0 gauge

Im trying to figure out how many amps i need in a battery....its gonna be about 3000 watt rms system and the battery is going to be strictly to the system in the back. Im looking at a kinetik battery and im trying to decide which one to get....what is the least amount of amperage that i need to get for a battery? also how would you recommend setting this battery up? connecting it to the front battery through zero gauge and then grounding it? I'd appreciate some help from you guys.

I would go with a Powermaster D3100 or a Kinetik HC2400 the more the better

I know that those will do the job (and more), but would the kinetik 1400 be enough??

he could ground it to a bus bar (?). they have like 2+ bolts on it so you dont have to use random ground points on the car

Yeah I was thinking like that instead of grounding them to three seperate areas. But I was wondering for my own sake if that is possible. Like grounding the battery and the two amps to one spot wouldn't cause problems now would it?
