Alright, So I Just ordered a kinetik hc1400 gettin here monday which I am going to be putting up front in my car, and I already have a kinetik hc600 in my back near amp. Well I was thinking I would like to add a huge battery in the back to replace the 600.. I was thinking maybe a hc2400 just to have tons of juice and I figure you can never have too much... But then I was like crap Idk if my stock alt can handle charging batteries of this size ( a hc1400 up front + 2400 in back ) So i wanted to see if anyone could help with all you guys experience with tons of batts and alts.

Right now I have a 97 honda civic hb, stock alt (65-70amp I believe..) I have the big 3 done already and I just wanted to see if it is even possible to run a 1400 + 2400 on this tiny stock alt.. ( I do have a battery charger that I could use to maintain the batts over night if its needed ) I just want to put a big one back there if I can to keep a good supply near the amp ( amp is a sundown sax 1200d )

** The reason for all the batts and stock alt is because I dont feel like investing in an h/o alt for this car as idk when it will crap out.. and I figure batts can be moved to the next car if I am forced to get a new one someday.

Edit: ( 172,XXX Miles on car atm lol ) and yes next car I WILL get an H/O alt.

Thanks - Jordan

I guess noone has ever ran multiple batteries on a stock alt?.... Lol..

Yes it's fine, especially if your willing to charge the batts regularly.

Alright... Just making sure as it is a big investment on that size battery and I just didnt know if a tiny 70amp alt could charge a 1400 + 2400 and still reg. car things at the same time without killing it.

The batts should help keep voltage up. They should have enough reserve depending on what amps your running.

Running only 1 Sundown SAX 1200d for my whole system.

Ya you should be fine
