Battery Gurus... advice needed!

[the727kid 10+ year member]

Alright, I am in the process of building a speaker box that I can bring out to the beach. Basic idea of it is high efficiency speakers and one Kicker Marine 450.2 to power the speakers. I need it to last several hours off battery power alone. How would you guys go about this? I already have a Kinetic HC2000 laying around that I can use but I don't think that will be enough. Help is much appreciated.

**** man i was just down there by you working in inglis, ya your going to need a very bulky battery. I suggest finding a telecom type battery. Or C n d technologies have some very large 100lb+ batts. I just sold 2 kinetik 2400 to a guy hes running 4 of them and a solox on his boat

Inglis? And yea I'm pretty sure that's the route I need to go, but don't know how long one would last or what I need exactly.

Charge your HC2000 and use it once. See how long it works with out any issues. Go from there.

Is the stereo going to run off of your vehicle?

Pro-Rabbit... that is our plan for now.

SPL.... No the speaker box is going to put on wheels so we can bring it on the beach. Far distance from any source of electricity lol

I would get a ctek charger 7002. I would look at using 2 batteries . even if one is enough it will be deep cycled which will shorten its lifespan and performance.
