[QUOTE="Wick3D, post: 8500715, member: 669753"] again thanks for the replies, you are like the voice of reason keeping me from doing idiocracy [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] So a guy on craigslist will sell me a kinetic 600 for 25$.. It seems like I should do this, because its cheap(and I am a cheap mf) and it should help? But your suggestions are telling me it's not a good idea? Or is it being a smaller agm it shouldn't be a problem? Also if its a 600 does that mean its useless for 1000+ watts?
