Well, i was browsing thru my options for batterys and think ive settled on getting some kinetiks as my main and extras. But since im limited on space my question is..are say... 2x HC600s the same as 1x HC1200 ? I was thinking about getting 1x 3800 and a 1800 instead of like 3x 1800s.

I'd say go with fewer big batts then alot of small batts, it's less messy/complicated. But that's just me.

Check the CCA and A/H of each and compare.

I agree.

Yah i figure it would generally be the same but..then i wonder why some people get a buncha 1400s or 1200s or 1800s when they can just get say one 3800. Based on prices its not any more expensive or cheaper.

Not sure on their physical sizes but i would guess the bigger the number the bigger the size of the battery, so i would get something like a 1800 under the hood then a 3800 in the cab. Or i could probably get away with just a 3800 if that'll even fit under my hood. Itd be nice to only have 1 battery.

X2. Im trying to get rid of my two batts in the trunk to get one big one. Less complicated.

2 smaller batteries will have more Ah at the cost of more space and weight. 2 1800's would have 162 Ah and weigh in at 108 lbs or so http://www.kinetikaudio.com/2009/product.asp?P=KHC1800&C=1 where the 3800 would be 1 battery 134 Ah and 87lbs. http://www.kinetikaudio.com/2009/product.asp?P=KHC3800&C=1
