Hey I've got 2 12" ssd's to a 08kickerzx2500.1 with a Kinetik hc1400 in the back.

The first 4 weeks I had the setup it was great, working to what I had expected.

Some said they have never heard any cars around here get so low. (tuned to 33hz)

Then...last week I turn my PAC bass knob all the way up and then I hear the bass cut off, I then

turn down the knob and it comes right back on. I turn it back up and after like 30secs it will cut off and on.

After a few days it seemed to me as it was a battery problem, like when it was turned up loud the batteries

could not charge fast enough so it cut off. I took it to auto zone and they checked both batteries and they

said the kinetik was a bad battery and I needed to replace it. I have a warranty so I am not worried about that

I am just curious as to why this happened? I had the gain at like 1/3 on the amp and with the head unit

(pioneer avh-4000D) i listened to it at 20 out of 40. Stock 120amp alt.

If anyone can give me any information it would be greatly appreciated.

Thx

Are you running a battery in the standard location as well? If so is it the same? I know you can get away with running extra batteries without isolating them for periods of time, sometimes they'll go for ages other times not long at all. I had an issue of cooking batteries in the rear of my car as I was running them all in parallel with the front battery. I alsoo had the same issue in my first install in a 4WD that ran a 24v system, that caused an imbalance in the batteries pretty quikly which in turn meant one battery was never getting to the same charge as the other, or the other was getting over charged can't quite remember, however the end result was a number of dead batteries in short time.

i'd say get ur alt tested

take to and auto store, cuz i dont think the batt tester goes above 1000cca

also u can just get ur batts charged....

im just thinkin if urplayin it loud for a long period ur batts might need a good chargin

and see wat happens

yea im running my stock battery upfront. You think if i got a similar kinetik upfront it could be fixed?

I'll also get my alt tested but since its a 2007 im pretty sure it would'nt be that or could I be wrong?

Do you think if i recharged the kinetik it would last and then have the same problems again?

well ur system could have strained ur alt to failure

i have 3 diff batts and haven't had any problems, 2400, 1800, and 800cca

well if u aren't havin a problem wt the stock batt and alt, u prolly fine...just get ur batts charged

tested the alt today and they said it was working fine.

So I should just recharge my kinetik in the back, and I should be ok for a little while?
