[QUOTE="Wolv19D, post: 8760069, member: 683493"] I had the same dilemma here recently because a 250A from Singer was around $450 and the Mechman 240A was like $360 with military discount. But Mike from Singer was very helpful in my emails and seemed like a good dude so plan on going with him I think. From the little bit I could find I believe the Singer puts out 10-20A more at idle in my case and a little more at full tilt as well which is important since I may eventually run 4-5k rms. I also think the Singers may be a tad better overall but that’s from very limited knowledge and it could be the other way around. They’re both on the same level and both are great choices. With your limited power requirements I’d go with the cheaper one. My plan is likely the Singer 250 and a Northstar 31 AGM up front and eventually a Northstar 220 in rear. Should be good for 5-6k from my reading. Those Northstars are badass batts and seem to be one of the best options. For your requirements I’d seriously just consider the biggest AGM you can fit from your local auto stores which usually run about $200 instead of $400ish like XS Power and Northstar. [/QUOTE]
