I'm seein if i can save money but if i cant oh well....

This is for 2 AQ2200ds(200A per) and a sundown 100.4(90A rated about 65A used)

Here are choices -

Kinetik (i might go with powermaster but prices are bout the same so this is just the sake of kinetik)

setup 1-

1 HC2400 (128aH)

2 HC800s (72aH total)

Price - $632

setup 2-

3 HC1400s (180aH total)

Price - $695

setup 3-

1 HC2400 (128aH)

2 HC1400s (120aH total)

Price - $799

Kinetik has told me that their HC800 will give more impact than their batts above that model number meaning quicker discharge, like a cap.

A while back, i emailed them requesting their suggestion for a 3,000w setup but obviously i've gone bigger, hehe.

They said for 3,000w, they suggest 1 HC2400 and 1 HC600(20aH) for each amp.

This would give power AND impact.

They said i could also have went with just HC600s... They said it would be great impact but wouldnt last as long... because 5 hc600s is only 100aH.

So... what do you guys think?

For the time being, it will be off of a 100A alt, stock alt but will never be cranked because i know that won't last...

Eventually the 300A alt will be in there. Rated for 140A at idle and 300A at max.

So they're saying you have to have 1 big & 1 small battery together going to the amp?

dont hey have a calculator on there site to tell u what would work?

it really depends on what u plan on doing with the system . like kinetik said the small batteries will be better for instant power bc of their lower internal resistance but when it comes to prolonged play they can't sustain thier output. so if you plan on burps go with more smaller batts, bace race mix of large/small, playing with car off big batts all the way
