Guess i can give little updates here and there while i gather the info together- These are 12v batteries. 12v AGM batteries to be exact so i'm not wasting your time with other technologies. They rest @12.9v on average so that's normal. They use Metric style Bolt terminals like all other Car Audio batteries. They can be mounted in ANY position like *most* car audio batteries and not drop performance. If left unattended and disconnected, shelf life @68F is rated at a 3% drop in capacity every 30days. ^ This means it can be left unattended for 12 months without a damaging drop in charge capacity. These batteries have excellent recovery capability even after very deep discharges ^ This means if your battery is dropping in the low 11s, and the load is stopped, the battery can recover back fast to the mid to high 12v range. Operating range for batteries- 5F- 122F (i am awaiting an answer on exceeding the limitation of this range) OH.. and a little side note. This brand is a DIRECT replacement for the following known brands- Xstatic, Kinetik, Stinger, Odyssey, Deka, Hawker, Enersys, etc... FOR A LOT LESS. Please note- I have been studying the graphs on their batteries and some battery suggested direct replacements i feel would not be an identical equal to what they are saying... Do not worry though, moving to the next size battery will sure be a direct replacement and still be saving a LOT of money. More info to come...

You guys are gonna hate me for the next couple hrs but i want to go ahead and make this thread while i get all the info ready and post it at once... Unlike other competitors, i like to share what products are out there and where to get them for what price so we can all have some fun I've been talkin on another forum about this one particular battery brand and is sparking some big interest in the car audio world so after talking with the company over the phone about specific questions.. i think it's time to share some information! So.. give me a couple hrs or less, hopefully a LOT less time and i'll have this thread the new hot topic for a while...

before he built this new box for his van, he was running a stetsom 5k to a SINGLE coil on one ZCON for quite a while before he pulled it and put that one and a new one in his new box.. So that one sub was on it's last limb when it was experiencing ~157s at 27hz, lol. He actually managed to tear a hole through the former with burn marks around it. He's just goin crazy over there.. when he gets it fixed, everything should be fine then.

well.. i dont know why he would suggest people to create bars based on minimum current to act like a fuse.. that would create resistance and that word is illegal for competition use, hehe.

ok, just got back from talkin with XS Power. They said just be sure to run buss bars that are capable of handling the minimum of the maximum possible current draw off my equipment. Other than that, they said putting ~2,400A on battery Post 1 will be fine, no harm done.

oh u are so goin down... I'm gonna use the little pc speaker that's wired to the motherboard and power that off a bank of CMOS batteries. Plus.. i'm gonna use an ASUS board and OC everything so i can cheat in my class and drive more power into the speaker. Gonna have a 3,000CFM heatsink\fan on this speaker so it doesn't blow it's 0.1" coil.

i seriously don't believe u need an upgraded alt... Realistic power wired to 1ohm load shouldnt be pullin more than 70A at the maximum off that amp and that's split second draw... Just keep it revved while someone else measures voltage. As long as you stay above the low 13s, adding a battery is fine. In terms of fixinf your light dimming, i can't answer that as i don't know how sensitive those lights are.

well, it's obvious you are exceeding your alternator for 2 reasons.. One, you are idling when you are jamming.. Two, you are dropping below 13v. Try and see if your voltage drops when you got the car revved to 2,000rpm

Game on! Stetsom Powered Headphones on single run of 36awg power\ground wire. Headphones built inside of a 4th order Argent Audio box with 0.12 sqin of port. Got me 6 AA Duracells to power this bish.. I'll be competing in Stock 0-2 class, lol. Meter gonna be on my forehead.

actually, it would really hurt if u short the power to ground.. but don't do that! I'm sure your light dimming isn't bad as in crazy voltage drop but would never hurt to find out what you are dropping to. I'd say, if you are dropping at or below 12.5v.. get another battery back there.

pssh.. Whatever.... I got my 10 pairs of headphones in a 4th order right now off 2 watts.. I'll blow you away.

don't make me turn my stereo on.. i don't want to get a noise violation in ohio... cant' help it i just don't know how to be quiet.

wanna buy one? give me a few minutes and i'll give you a used one, lmao.

dont know how.. only KY boys know ported or 6th order

I'll show u all gay in a minute when i whip out my wood for my new build and show you how long i can meter without a sweat. You'll be wanting my cones in your face and ooooh that fresh smell of wood.. mmm hmm mmm... Oh how you like the big port tube!

Where is your credentials? Unless you can prove that is really your child, then why should we listen to you? LMAO... Ah.. aren't we all glad the Florida Bash run of 2011 finally died down... Congrats Sean!

hey, don't worry. I been talkin to some people and some ideas floatin around in my head... I can always take some 15s i got lyin around and throw them in a street box then put that in the SHELL of the wall and 6th order the sum bitch and see how loud 1-2 subs get while my equipment gets here. I always got things i can do.

u want all my gay knowledge, lmao

Stop putting the L Port up on a pedestal... Reminds me 40yr old virgin.

or just stop using screws if they aren't for you and just use clamps.

oh btw.. it looks like my equipment wont be in on-time.. Amp's may not be here til early June and subs may not be ready til August... Doesn't matter.. i might still find a way to pull a few tricks up my sleeve on some designs on the way to the wall.. Time will tell.

hey, wherever i go, i got meters. Pressure, volt, amm, dmm, o-scope..

eh.. subsonic setting depends on box size and tuning too... My last wall i had- 3 15s in 13.5cuft Tuned at 32hz, peaked at 51hz, subsonic was OFF. I could play down to 25hz before it bottomed out on max power. If the box was smaller.. i could have went down further.

or you know what, i'll contact XS power and talk to them about this wiring diagram and see if they think running ~2,400A to the same post will still work or not.

see that's the thing.. using multiple cables from the battery bank to go to each amp will result in non-distributed output. unless i can get 8 of these batts in there which i highly doubt... i'm just gonna have to wire it like everything else.. tons of cables and tons of grounds everywhere.
