How many batteries for how much power?

[CJL 10+ year member]

I found this chart on another forum and i was wondering if i was running ~2100wRMS i would need atleast 1500amps form my batteries,so would a Kinetik HC 2000 be good since it gives 2250amps?

EDIT: The chart came out ****ed up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i think the way kinetik has it set up. you use the number of batties for the number of watts you are using. or at least that is what they reccomend. like the hc 600 is for 600 watts and the hc 2400 is for 2400 watts and so on. but i have seen those lil 600's hold up to some pretty big amps and last a good lil whiles before they get to the point where your lights start dimming real bad and such.

100% correct but for daily use and lack of trouble a 2000 should do pretty good of course a 2400 would be better though. not saying you would notice a huge difference but you would have better reserve capacity with the larger cell.
