where to buy cheap decent batts?

[MECHMAN]

Batteries are like any other audio component, you get what you pay for.

To answer your question, Odyssey batteries ARE the same as Stinger. They are good quality batteries on par with XS power, but are actually generally more expensive than XS power pound for pound. The small batteries you linked to are way to small for what you are trying to do.

From my own testing, Kinetik and Shuriken batteries are of significantly inferior design and performance.

Deka AGM batteries are decent for the money, but can be sometimes hard to find.

That being said, we have D3100 batteries for $349 shipped anywhere in the 48 states. You could buy one of those for your trunk and leave your stock battery under the hood, and be in GREAT shape for your system, and even have some reserve left over for the future. XS batteries also have an outstanding warranty program, so you don't have to worry about it crapping out on you. Steve Meade runs XS power for a reason...

They used to be 134.00 back around winter time but have gone up in price but still a damn good battery for the price.

Free shipping is always a nice thing.

Correct me if im wrong but I thought it was 1 amp of current for every 1 RMS watt of output. Like 2000 watts RMS needs 2000 amps of current.

2000 amps would be crazy, that cannot be right. yeah mechman i sent you an email let me know. thanks

If your gain is at 1 volt... voltxamp = watt

So if I got 3500 watts RMS what battery do I need?
