sodfamily Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 OK so it appears trying to find a battery is harder then I thought. I am looking for a main battery up front to replace my stock battery. I have at the most 10"w X 8.5"d X 9"t. I have found these 4 and would like to know what you guys would recommend. Again this is only the main battery and a second one may be coming if necessary. I will be adding a HO alternating add the big three. This will be powering two SAE-1000 and a 4 channel (something around 400.4) but yet to be determined at this time. Hope this is enough info you give a good educated guess. Thanks...... 1) Optima Yellow Top D34 2) XS Power D2400 3) Kinetik HC1800 4) Odyssey PC1500T Quote Head Unit: Alpine CDA 9887 Sub Amps: 4 RF2500's Subs: 8 SA-12's Walled Comp Amp: 1 RF600.2 (for now) Comps: (4) 6.5 Punch Mid Pros and 2 Punch Pro Tweeters Batteries: (1) XS D5100 (5) D3100 Power Cables: 2 runs of 2/0 power and ground each front to back(Try-Star) Alternator: Dual Mechman Rhino 250's Deadener: Fatmat / Damplifier Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundzright Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Haven't tested a D2400 but if its like the D2700 it would more than likely finish at the bottom in this test on spl burps. For daily I run Kinetik and have for 3 years with 0 complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodfamily Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Much appreciated responses. I was thinking along the lines of the D2400 and the HC1800. So I guess it will come down to cost, like most things do..

The D2700 is a beast of a battery and so is the D2400. Kinetik doesn't make a battery that can touch any comparable size XS Power battery at all.
