B Slaps Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 ive killed a few optima's i would suggest a stereo battery such as batcap kinetik or powermaster. Quote I Rock 4 Doors 4 More Whores!

roscoe1129 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 forget the word capacitor/cap. they are worthless with a big system for daily bumping. A bigger alt will help along with better/more batteries.

01xtreme Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I would say just turn off the lights, then there wont be anything to dim. j/k, but you should consider a bigger alternator.

Nickvb6 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) I would hook battery in the back because you wont get enough power back there to your amps. Edited July 13, 2008 by Nickvb6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinetiks are suitable for running the main electrical components of your car, but I doubt that will solve your problem.

01xtreme Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 so what if i go with a optima in the hood and a kinetik on the back?..that would work right? it could help out. I always suggest upgrading the alternator though. That is the heart of your charging system. you could get away without using extra batteries depending on how powerful your alternator is.
