jsmoov777 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Posted July 27, 2010 ok guys i posted a topic a couple of days ago for help with my electrical. long story short i needed another battery to power my system, well i picked up another yellow top because thats what i am running under the hood (was going to wire them parallel). So when i took it to a local shop here in GA to get it put in they told me not to run the yellow top batteries go with die hard platinum series from sears. i have looked at kinetik and xs power batteries b4 but didnt want to wait to get it shipped to me. so my question is.....is the guy at the audio shop correct by telling me to go and get the die hard batteries or should i suck it up and order a battery from xs or kinetik? one last thing if i get a new battery thats not a yellow top wont i have to replace the one under the hood to run them parallel.

Alex K Posted July 27, 2010 Report Posted July 27, 2010 Mechman.com ships xs batts free brotha. And no you can just wire them up in parallel. No need to switch that yellow up front if you throw a xs in the trunk. Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track. My Feedback Thread i used to think a band pass was something you were around your neck or something.
jsmoov777 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Posted July 27, 2010 ok thanks. i noticed that everyone has there opinions about different products but since the guy felt so strong about it i figured i would ask the forum since everthing you all say has been accurate to date!!!

No need to switch that yellow up front if you throw a xs in the trunk. I was told that i had to have the same battery under the hood and in the trunk to run them parallel.
