Hey, I was just looking for some input on which car battery I should purchase for my 2000 GMC safari van. I plan on running 2 18" Fi Q series off of 2 apline pdx 1000.1's also a alpine for my highs and mids. I have already purchased a xsatic 400 series batcat for the rear and wanted some help on picking a battery for up front to replace the stock one. I am running 0awg power and ground wire from the front battery to the rear also am planning on doing the BIG3 but dont really know how to upgrade the alt. wire to 0awg, anyhow i dont plan on upgrading the alt right away maybe down the road so I need a battery that can be ran off the stock alt. I have looked at the optima, xspower (i think) and someone told me to just use a deep cycle marine battery but i am not real sure on that one. Just wanted to know what you guys are running and what you think will supply enough power and amps for my system, thanks

Powermaster xs is well respected lately

I use the Kinetik line of batteries. They seem to hold up very well and I can get them at wholesale cost through MMS here in Dallas.

I've heard nothing but praise about the Powermaster XS D3100 series of batteries as well....I think either would be a nice choice...In my opinion..I would probably install a Kinetik 1400 up front or a X-Static Batcap 2000 since you already have the other X-Static in the back...

I try to use all the same brand of batteries...

Hope this helps..

Thanks man I think I am going to go with a powermaster up front. I keep hearing nothing but great reviews on them, also who do you think makes the best H.O. alt. I looked at the irragi but was wanting to know about the durability of these alts? Also do you have to kook up anything special if you running a H.O. alt so you dont fry the car's elec. system? Thanks again.
