XS Power

lookin at one of the xs batteries (5100R) and i got a question, the amp rating is based on 14.4V (right?) and im guessing the 12V on the battery is for how much it puts out so does that mean the amp isnt going to get sufficient power?

Better get them while you still can. They will be on back order for at least 30days.

Hi Nate, Looking for your solid advice on my current project. I have a SAE-1200D running at 1 ohm, and a MB Quart 4125 running at 4ohms per channel. Stock alternator (105 amp) and a Autocraft titanium battery in my 2004 Impala. The big three have been updated with 1/0 wire, and the alternator has been modded so that it produces about .2 volts more at all times. With the car warm and music at half level the voltage at the sub amp and the battery is at 14.8 volts steady. With the music at full tilt with heavy bass the voltage drops as low as 12.9 at the battery and amp. This is when it looks like the car is a disco ball and headlights/all the interior lights dim. The …

Hello, I need some help. So right now i have a saturn ion and just ran some 1/0 gauge wire to the trunk of my car doing the big 3. I was wondering if i can hook up my xs 1200 battery in parallel, too my starting durlast battery, with each battery receiving its own cable from the alternator? would this work? Since both batterys are in the trunk i can ground them to the same point. I have no idea what to do??

my d2400 arrived in the mail yesterday .. I have a problem though, the website recommended the short posts but dang they are so skinny there's no way my terminals are going to stay.. does anyone know if they make thicker ones? I have the big 3 upgrade using the knukonceptz battery terminals if it matters

I plan on running a relatively high power setup. Two Warden 18's @ .7ohm (dual .7 series, then parallel) on a SAZ-4500D, a SAX-100.4 and a 50.4. Now what would be better for Park-and-play? I was planning on (3) D3100's plus a yellow/blue top under the hood and (2) 200A alts, or a single 300-350A. Would the (3) D3100's be good for reserve? Or should i get a higher number of smaller/lighter batteries? I would think while parked, i would keep it idling, but not having to is a plus. Thanks, -Chris

i have a 99 mustang and was looking at the 200 amp alt. how much is it and where can i buy it from?

I have a sundown 100.4 a 125.2 and I'm going to have a crescendo BC5500 as my power source. now, for my batteries I have one d3400 up front and 2 6500's in the rear with a mechman xs270 amp alt w/ adjustable voltage. What do you all think of that? does that sound sufficient?

thought I would post up our new add that is in the May issue of Drag Illustrated just in case you wanted to check it out.

My xs1200 came in yesterday and I'm putting it in today. But the positive and negative terminals are on different sides compared to my factory batterys terminals. And if I rotate the 1200 and have the terminals on the correct side, they become too far away for my factory wires to connect. How do I go about solving this problem? Also, it didn't come with new posts for the factory wires to connect to, do I just bring the battery to Pep Boys or whatever and see if they have posts that will fit?

Just a simple load test comparison of the D3100 and a couple other Group 31 batteries. I am sure we should have done many things differently and I am sure we will hear about it, but people ask for comparison videos and here you go. Approx 500 amp load for 30 seconds. More videos to come.

does anyone by chance happen to know how much it costs for shipping for these batteries? I am interested in the d2400

Alright in my Dodge Challenger my lights dim pretty bad with my system in now. System is ~1500 watts. Not sure if efficiency takes place when considering this though because two of the amps run strictly at 8ohms on all channels. Anyways I just have my stock battery and it isn't cutting it, dimming lights is no good. I would really like to just replace my stock battery, I have all my trunk space available and would like to keep it that way, so this is my only option. Anyways it looks like the D2600 would be a direct drop in and the D6500 would fit if I removed the battery tray. Would either of these be sufficient enough to emlinate the dimming lights? On a side, I have the…

Simply speaking I am having an issue with the VCM going way over the supossed 15.2v limit. Sometimes when I start the car the VCM is so high that every aftermarket electronic device installed turns on and off over and over including the VCM. While doing this pulls my idle up and down also. Very bad for the electronics in my car, and being that its a 2013 300, I don't want to fry all the computers and such. The dip switches are set how the instructions say, and everything is installed very cleanly. Everything is soldered and shrink wrapped. It also sends everything into protect when im on the highway and there is a break in the bass, voltage spikes up like crazy. The other…

I have a XS-D5100 up front and 3 Deka 9a31s in the trunk. Is this bad to mix and match? Will the XS drain the dekas?

I currently have a Optima yellow top under my hood and XS 5100 in my trunk, was looking into buying a XS 3400 to replace the Optima looking for opinions. System consists of Iraggi 300 amp alt, one Crescendo 3kwp and a Crescendo 1000c4 along with two DC LVL 4 15's with d.7 coils.

i picked up a ho alternator from a place i think in st louis called nation alt for another car and it was decent but i see alot of people use powermaster. are powermaster alternators worth the price and does anyone know what the prices are i have an 07 magnum 3.5v6...i know but i got a great price on it and couldnt pass it up

Lets see the installs from the basic to the extreme!!

how do i know if i need a high output alternator??? i have 2x15 inch fully loaded btls on a lanzar opti drive 6000d and 2 additional lanzar opti drives for highs 100x4 each.. i currently have 2 kinetik 2400 batteries one in the front and 1 in the back... thanks advance!!!!

i was wondering which battery would be a good second battery for my system? my system does not consist of very much i have a hfonics nemesis 400 watt amp on my mj18 and a old school optumis for my mids and highs, i have the big 3 done just want a little extra juice for when i upgrade my sub amp? your guys opion is of great help cause im confused on which one to chose

Just curious why the SSA store has the 311 and 312 models but not the 313. I could order from Summit or Jegs, but hey, support the forum right?

Can i wire my D3100s in parallel and charge them like that, or will i have to do each one by itself?

Not sure how many of these I would need to run an SD16KD. Also, what would be the advantages/disadvantages of running the 14V batt. vs 4 D3100's? I already have a D3400 up front, would I want to change this to a 14v batt as well if I decide to go with the D1400? Thanks, Nova

I'm planning on powering a sundown 2000d off a regular battery up front and a D3100 in back. Don't think my puny little 90Amp stock alt will survive for long with that load so... Let me rephrase lol "makes one" for less than like 600$? I emailed a representative at MechMan and they wanted me to ship out my current alt so they could clone the casing and make me a custom 200 amp one for 599$ because its a one off project?! Any reasonable prices on these things?
