2 2500d's, kinetiks or blue tops?

[Blazin_Jason 10+ year member]

I'm slowly piecing together components for my blazer. What I will be running is 2 orions 2500d's @ 1Ω about 1200-2000 watts each and an 8004 on a set of comps. I don't have an alt yet but I plan on either dual 200-220ish's or a single 300. Both amps will have dual runs of 1/0 to them. This is strictly going to be a daily driver, so not competing. So the batteries will also be used for starting. I'm pretty sure I will be able to run 2 batts under the hood. The battery trays currently can only fit batteries 10.75"x7"s. Once I get the motor in and front end back together I will see if I can mod the trays to hold anything wider maybe 11" or 12"s. I'd like to just run 2 batts if I can, but if not that's what I need to know so I can plan things out. Here's what I was thinking:

1. 2 Optima Blue Tops 34M's or D34M's. (Probably not sufficient enough)

2. 2 Kinetik 1800's (Kinetik site suggest at least 2 2000's and a 1400 for starting)

Blue Tops last time I checked were about $200-230 each Canadian plus taxes, and the Kinetiks are about $260 shipped US plus whatever duties. I'll have to wait to see if I could fit maybe 2 2000's up front. I'm looking for the most cost effective way that it can be done. If it requires 2400's, then it might be cheaper to get like 4 BT's locally. But I'm looking for experieces and opinions on what will work for me. Thanks

kinetiks are bad ***.

if you want capacity in a smaller package the kinetiks would be better especially for a daily driver

since i guessing ur gonna be playing mostly with the car on then I suggest just gettin an HC1800 in the front (or HC200 if u can fit it) Then a HC2400 in the back, spend the rest on a good HO alt. I personally think the little extra money for hte kinetiks are worth it. But blue tops arnt a bad choice if u have to.

You're talking about usiing over 4000w in a daily driver? OK...

top of your list should be a HO alt, a big one. There's just no way a stock electrical system can keep up with that gear.

Actually it could be upwards if 5k if need be. I won't be driving this thing till everything is complete. So right now there is no electrical system, nor will a stock electrical be installed. As stated I will be sure to have a good charging system. I'm just looking to see what batteries are best for me. I think if I can fit 2 kinetik 2000's that would be sufficient.
