Id just like some answers from you guys because you guys know more than me. thanks.
June 24, 201114 yr If its for under the hood, pick what fits in your car. What is the stock size? If its for the back I would use the d3100. By the way a dual 1 ohm sub can not be wired to one ohm.
June 25, 201114 yr Author I just realized that. So I guess I'll go even less than one ohm. But it would be under my hood. And I'm asking because I'm trying to see if I even need a second battery. If I got the d3100 that's all that I need right?

June 25, 201114 yr I have a (2)D3400's in my Hyundai. If I can fit a D3400 under my hood it should fit in just about anything

June 25, 201114 yr 02 ford ranger. It's going to be mine in about 2 weeks, same time my equipment will come in.See what size battery comes in it and get a XS Power AGM battery to replace it. Then go from there.
June 25, 201114 yr Author So which battery to pick? My battery and box are the only things I need to get left. Well besides my car lol but my parents n I are doing paperwork and it should officially be mine in about two weeks (well my dads but my car technically.) d3100?
June 25, 201114 yr email people from xs power, or if you really want a group 3100 bat under the hood just fab up a battery holder to make it fit lol
June 25, 201114 yr Get the largest you can fit under the hood. Watch your voltage and go from there. If you're getting bad drop get another, depending on the space and money available, battery in the back.
