Is the Big 3 upgrade good enough???

[ruck703 10+ year member]

I have 2 Orion H2 12.2 subs that will be powered by an Orion 2500D amp at 1 Ohm (I think). I've been searching high and low for all my options. I am going to do the Big3 upgrade for sure but i was thinking about getting a Kinetik HC1800 battery for a secondary battery in the back and I still have my regular Duralast Battery in the front. I'm going to run 0 gauge throughout my truck (2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee). I have a stock 136 Amp alternator.Thoughts?????

Yes It would be a good idea to do a second battery, I run 2k from single battery and I drop from 15v to 13.2 under load,(If I REEEELY FLOG IT) Lights dim of course. To avoid dimming and to avoid ruining yo carz I would get an 1800 though the 1400 would probably work ok too.

You were better off not mentioning that. On a good note, go sell it and use the money to help fund your battery.

So why not disconnect it/bypass it till it's sold?

I actually placed an ad up here earlier to try to trade it or sell it...I'll take that money and put it towards a new battery...

You'll have better luck on craigslist, especially for that price.
