i built a battery rack under my car to hold all 12 of mine

My box will go from wheel well to wheel well and i'm branching a battery rack off the side where I can fit a couple HC2400s or 4-5 HC800s. Most likely, I'm going to try running my XX Colossus II off 3 HC800s and a yellow top under the hood. You'll need nearly twice what I have, so what Mike said is right. 6-7 Yellow top caliber batts. You could always try the HC1400s, get 4 back there and put an HC2000 or HC2400 under your hood if you can fit it and you should be fine for daily.

i might not be able to do those amps then, im only going to put a 300a alt and 1 2150 or hc2400 probably, i dont know what i can fit up front, its a big everstart maxx there now, and the blue top in the back

what are some other more efficient amps that do ~ 2500 ish @.7

or is 1 big amp better?

man this thread is talking big money, wish i had it and the experience to wire something up like this

1 amp would be more efficient, i would think.

What about an opti 4000d, i heard they're quite a bit underrated.

im thinking about a XX Goliath if i could find on around 1000 used, i saw a guy selling one for 1050 shipped, i was wondering if anyone could get deals on here

2-4 G31 YELLOWS or 2-4 hc 2400s will do. strong alt and u'll be fine. i big batt per amp will do u fine. but 2 per will make it safe
