If I were you I would go with XS power. Read about kinetik batteries swelling. I haven't ran XS nor Kinetik, but have done some reasearch and its only logical to me to go with XS power. People are going to say i've ran my Kinetic for "X" amount of years and no swelling problems, but then theirs people whos batteries have swelled up. I'm gonna end it on this..... look up how many XS power batteries have swelled...

Batteries swell when they get hot from being ran down too low and in use while the alt is charging, engine heat and also hooking up banks of batteries in ways that cause a bottle neck (not spreading the connections out across the banks). Most companies will not cover damage like this as it will be named as abuse under the warranty.Also kinetik has been around for 7 years longer and has been more widely used and misused . Do you buy amplifiers based on max watts or RMS?
