Chris Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 A yellow top is always good, or look into either and hc800 from kinetik http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8531.html or hc600 -a batcap 800 series is practically the same as this and a couple of these in parallel is fine for what u have just make sure to upgrade with the big 3.

Chris Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 pokey's right a red top would be better, they charge back up faster if ur gonna put this battery in the back mainly for the amps. but yeah, you would probably get away fine with that setup since its not something extreme, but 100 amps seems a lil low. id upgrade that alt if i were you or youd get dimming Quote 4 15" FI Q D2's in 12 cubes tuned to 32hz 1- T1000.1bd's 3 Maxx 29 deep cycles 4 runs of 1/0 gauge -Big 3 -Trunk sealed off from the cabin Custom 15.8 dual-volt switching MLA module All in a CAR.

F N LO Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i will also have to run an isolator between the bat and the main bat right?? alts are hard to find for my truck.. ill see what i can do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Don't use a yellow top....use a red top. any reasons for backing that up there dude?? lol That's what I was gonna say Chris...and yellow tops are for deep cycle...not constant use (systems) yellow tops drain fast to use the power for a few cycles and take longer to charge back up. Red Tops are much better suited for constant use type applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 oh no... isolators are mainly used to do exactly what they say, ISOLATE a certain battery say 1 for starting, another for stereo etc. steve doesnt use any and hes got 7 batteries. if you connect a redtop in the back to the one up front in parallel with some 1/0g ul just be using both for starting and both for system. no need for one :calm: Quote 4 15" FI Q D2's in 12 cubes tuned to 32hz 1- T1000.1bd's 3 Maxx 29 deep cycles 4 runs of 1/0 gauge -Big 3 -Trunk sealed off from the cabin Custom 15.8 dual-volt switching MLA module All in a CAR.
