Well worth the money. You get what you pay for.

I want to start out by thanking Nathan again for his great customer service!!! Nathan is a VERY friendly and helpful guy. I know it never gets old hearing a "job well done" So here I am Telling everyone what a GREAT job Nathan did. Here is my experience: I read a ton of forums and everyone just tells you to buy the biggest, baddest battery thats out there.(the D3100 if you where wondering) I Wanted a Second battery in my trunk for a good spot to connect all the runs of wire to and wanted a matching technology battery under the hood. Not nessasarily the same model but same tech. I was under the impression you wanted the bigger battery in the trunk and was still lost to what i should buy for my application? I didn't want to waste alot of money on batterys I didn't need. I called Nathan on the phone (like we did before the internet) and like I said he is a VERY helpful guy! He took the time to listen to my needs and gave me a few differant options as to what I could do and even gave me totals for cost over the phone. My needs are I have a 1999 Honda Accord 2.3L and plan on running about 3000-3500 RMS. I DO NOT compete, and I only listen at full tilt on the highway about 20 min. at a time. I still only have the stock alt. but like I said I don't tax the batterys at idle. Nathan Told me I could do the 5100 under the hood as thats the factory replacement size. Since I already Had a group34 redtop fit under the hood he told me I could use the 3400 for a little extra power. He then told me I could use the 975 in the trunk or the 1200 if I wanted a little extra power. I immediately asked why not the bigger battery in the trunk near the amps? He said this is not nessessary. He then told me what both sets of batterys would cost. as soon I hung up the phone I wondered what the diff between the S3400 and D3400 ? I called Nathan back and he was VERY friendly again and explained that they are the same battery. I went with the D3400 under the hood as my starting battery and the D1200 in the trunk. I love a little extra power and didn't break the bank ! I am very happy with my batterys and the GREAT customer service!!! Thanks again Nathan. maybe someone can pin Nathans contact info and this topic for others to leave thier experiences.

Why doesn't the store on SSA carry the 3400 batterys?

Thanks for setting me straight Nathan, I should of just said they were the same batt. As far as ordering, The store on here DOES NOT have the 3400 batterys? or I would of ordered here as Mathew at MechMan was NOT very friendly. I am scared to call them back with ANY questions. This post was edited fo better choose of words.

Don't know if the deal is still good but I bought mine from MechMan because they had FREE SHIPPING!!! I payed $239 shipped for the d3400 and $180 shipped for the D1200. Also if your wondering the diff between the S3400 and D3400, The only diff is the S3400 is red and comes with An I-bar and metal protective case. They are the same battery.

I had an El Camino long ago. The huge Cubby behind the seats was screaming for a box. Glad to see someone finally made it stop screaming!!!

Coming along nicely!

welcome. Any other upgrades your planning on?

Checked it out. Looks Good!

Beautiful Subwoofer!!!!!

Lookin' good! I had a 76 Firebird. I miss it.

Good to see you on here Nathan. Anybody with battery questions should Call Nathan. He is a GREAT GUY and very knowledgeable about the batterys he sells. Thanks Again for the GREAT customer service!!!

Welcome to the forum. This is a GREAT place to learn. Glad to see some West Coasters on here.

I have the Stinger 12 ga speaker And It is VERY SOFT. Lick a spaghetti noodle. Easy to run through the door bootys. I Have the Knu (1/0, 4ch RCAs, 2ch RCAs)for everything else and they are Definetly STIFF. I will try the Stinger for sure the next time, Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. How do you like your CDA-9886?

Hey I am getting ready to move my spare tire nubby, and had a thought. if you really wanted your nubby back you could go to a salvage yard and take one out af another car to weld back in yours. Or if you had basic metal tools you could make a new? Just some idea's for ya.

Great job!!! Gotta have a spare. Looks like all the hard work payed off for you!!!

The wall looks badass!!! You guys in Florida don't mess around. lots of props to you for a job well done!!!

They are fun to build. Only took about 8 hours for both. I can see why Ed Roth loved to build out of fiberglass!!!!!

Made the type-r's sound a ton better on axis. They sounded so bad behind the factory cover I wanted to replace them. the pods make them have a pretty decent response and WAY MORE output.(for a speaker with such low eff. 86db@1w/1m)

Ya I know a empty trunk is boring. So heres some pics of the front doors for you picture whores. Built these last summer. Didn't take any pics though.
