Electrical Setup Help Kinetik - 99 Civic

[Scoobasteve 10+ year member]

Hey Guys,

I have a quick question,

I have a 99 Civic, and i'll be running an Mtx 7801 D on Bass and a Alpine MRV-F545 on highs.

I bought a 160a HO alternator and i was wondering which battery setup i should go with.

I have a Kinetik HC2400 i got for trade a little while back. BNIB. I was wondering which would be the ideal setup,

The entire car will be wired up with 0 ga Power and ground, Big 3 will be done.

Here are my options

a) Battery in the factory location (regular wet cell) and the Kinetik 2400 in the trunk (tight fit)

b) No battery in the factory location, Kinetik 2400 in the trunk.

c) Sell the kinetik, get a HC1400 for the factory location, and an HC800 in the trunk

I don't plan on listening to the stereo with the car off. and i do turn the stereo down when stopped. I'd like to keep the dimming lights and other issues to a minimum.

If anyone has any other suggestions i'm open to anything really.

Thanks,

Steve

Why not just pick up a Kinetik HC1400 for the front and put the 2400 in the back, no need to sell it.

Sell the 2400 and just get a 1400 under the hood. You have way more electrical than those amps need. Are you planning on upgrading your amps in the future?

Nope, Not planning on Upgrading amps. I'd have to sell the 2400 to offset the cost of the 1400.
