Crossfire VX4000D

use a 1800 or something up front (whatever fits) one or two 2400 or whatever your budget can fit for 1800+ in the back (all 3 kinetik). Buy terminals that will fit two 1/0 wires (or rig one yourself with crimps) and run two wires for each post to the back of vehicle. Attach to you batts and then to amp.
I would start with 2 batts and then move up to 3 if there are voltage problems. The alt is only if your voltages constantly dips into the 12v range. There is no need to run 2 alts for only 4kw. that one alt will be sufficient for perhaps double that(just a guess).

the mechman website

Kinetik website

The kinetik website says you need two HC2000 batts

You can pick them up for cheap at millionbuy.com

I won't be running any Kinetik batteries, or Powermaster as far as I know, I've only found Optimas and Odysseys so far.

Ive personally never used one, so can't comment. I have heard horror stories, but

they were most likely running low imp and or high voltage.

you should be fine as long as you have a few of them. Any kind of high amperage batt.

well guys I got a quote back on the Odyssey 2150.

$640. For one battery. Sweet clusterfuck of orange juice.

If shit is this expensive I'm just gunna sell it off. I can't afford like 1200 worth of batteries.

I'll be running the amp @ 12vish and at 2 ohms. Should be good, no?

Your in canada, you have to figure in all of that my friend. Proabably best to stick with the forums and ebay possibly.

2 or 3 solid batteries such as optima / kinetic / SVR will be just fine. Just make sure they are sealed.

Hmm. Parts place here sells Battery Direct batteries like I have but I have no idea how much.

What should I look for in a battery?

I will call Battery Directs distribution, guy gave me a price on some stuff gunna call again.

A teammate used to go to an actual interstate battery store. They referbished batterys and sold them cheap. I think he paid like $40 per yellow top and like $25 for a big marine un sealed marine battery. Finding a place like that would be your best bet.

Go to a Canadian Tire or Parts Source and pick up an Exide Orbital Extreme spiral gel cell battery.. they run around $175 and outpreform the Optima's..

or look into some Deka Intimidators. Thats an insane price for an Odyssey. My dealer quoted me like $300 for the 2150

If your running them below 2 ohms on a weak eletrical system, then yes you will have problems.
