Well i've been pondering about my battery situation. my kinetik HC2400 just arrived, and i am curious if i need to keep both batteries, or if i should just modify my battery holder and mount the kinetik up front and just toss the old battery. What do you all think? im gonna be running a hifonics xx-herc (2000wrms@2ohms) and a little 4ch amp (50x4)

depends on the alt too. if your battery under the hood is in good shape its worth a try (rear mounted battery would lessen the voltage drop front to back IF your alt is good) nothing wrong with using a 2400 under the hood either though just depends on what you are wanting to do
