Biggest battery under the hood for a 2001 Buick Century

If OP was looking at group 31 XS powers then he has enough money to drop on a high output alt and a small battcap/hc600 in the trunk and that should do wonders with the voltages too.

If you dont have it to drop than save up to replace the amp and possible the stock alt and VCM... That will add up fast wont it

They are not overpriced at all. You get what you pay for. 1 3100 will take up less space, less weight(MPG), outdo 2 or more cheaper batteries. Thats what you pay for. If you think they are overpriced dont look at Batcap

Now when he plans on going over 3k fine but for now no sense in dropping dough on a alt..i have lots of buddies who run 2-2500 on that battery setup for years

Well I have thought about strapping two q1-2200's on two xfl's 15's later on //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

another thing you can actually do OP is to find an alternator place near you and beef up your current alt, you'll get around 20-25% more power and only need one good AGM in the hood.

EDIT: NVM you are just like us LOL never enough bass, yeah man, get that battery bank going on and do the alt whenever you can.

You can get a decent 200 amp alt for $400. All those batteries are going to do is creat a load, they are going to get very discharged and keep discharging to the point the amp will fail and cause vehicle issues. If he is dropping that far now adding a battery will not fix it because you know it is really dropping way more. Why pay for a 2000 watt amp if you are only getting 1000 watts since you cant feed it? It makes no sence to me, just get a 1000 watt amp to begin with

I have a schumacher agm battery charger will that help?

I was but I wanted to see my other options. If I could find something cheaper and get close to the same output I'll go with that instead

The belva amp is 1200 rms but the tnt's want more power! I could save up but it would take me a while... This is not a cheap hobby lol
