Harm Sikkenga Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 how would I go about adding in 2 new Kinetic KHC1800 batteries to power my 2 15" Fi BTLs powered by 2 Alpine MRP-M2000 amps. First, can I just run wires from my stock battery to my kinetic batteries in my trunk? or should I replace the stock one with a Kinetic KHC800.

Tek Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 if your alternator can handle 2 batteries, get 2 batteries. Normally a few runs of 1/0 from the front to the back does the trick, but with a set up like that I would look into high output alternators before anything else.

chapo123 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 yes. run the pos to pos for each batt. then ground the batts in the back or do a run of neg to neg as well.

Tek Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 a single HC800 is not gonna do the trick for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan412 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 a single HC800 is not gonna do the trick for that. what i meant by that was replace the stock battery as well as adding the batteries in the back. and ofcourse a h/o alt would do the trick Quote (Headunit) Pioneer DEH-P3100UB (Speakers) Phoenix Gold RSd 65cs (4 Channel) Alpine MRP-F300 (Subs) 2 15" Audioque SDC2.5 (Box) 7.27 cubic feet tuned to 31 Hz (Mono Amplifier) Elemental Designs Nine.1 (Wiring) 1/0 Knukonceptz KLMX (Batteries) 2 C&D Tech 75 a/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spl4life Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) replace the stock battery... mixing batterys are not a good idea... if you do your kinetics will average out with the stock battery voltage... id grab another 1800 and put it up front... edit: HO alt is a must... check out dc power..

Harm Sikkenga Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm pretty sure tylertron just installed a 320 amp alt from iraggi in his alero... if the 04+ fits onto my 01 alero then i ahve a 300a alt but if not highest ive found was 200a replace the stock battery... mixing batterys are not a good idea... if you do your kinetics will average out with the stock battery voltage... id grab another 1800 and put it up front... so 3 1800 and a big three upgrade?
