battery power question

[crunch5868 10+ year member]

ok so im wiring up my system and i have a deka intimidator that i was going to put in my trunk but I would have to buy more 1/0 wire and connectors and another fuse to wire the second battery. Would i be okay just putting the deka in front in place of my regular car batt., would that give me sufficient power?

my setup is: an audioque 2200d running to 2 pioneer ts-w3001d4's (1000 watts rms) at one ohm. all kicker 1/0 gauge wire. my batt is a deka intimidator 9A31:

# BCI Group Size : 31

# Voltage : 12

# Cold Cranking Amps @ 0° F : 800

# Cranking Amps @ 32° F : 1000

# Reserve Capacity Minutes : 190

# Amp Hour (20 Hour Rate) : 100

im not going all out like competition style or anything its just daily driving.

doubt it

I would say it should be ok.

it will prolly strain the electrical system a bit but the battery will just hide the problem.

And the weaker of the two batts will pull the other one down with it, inturn the alt has to work harder to charge two batts therefore if it is really to much then the alt will eventually burn up

either another battery as well as the deka

or a stronger alternator

...power it up and find out

the deka could b alrite

wut kinda car is it going in?

i wont be pushing it really hard and if i do only for short periods. i just dont want the lights to dim or to have a voltage drop that would hurt my amp

only way to really know is get a volt meter hook it up that way play the music at listening volume and see what happens to the voltage.

yeah instead of using both batterys i want to replace the stock one with the deka and only use the deka in the front. only one batt.

Can you read he is asking if he will be ok by replacing the batt up front instead of wiring them together. That = 2 batts one under the hood and one in the trunk
