Optima D34/78 vs. Stinger SP 1700

[photocrazy8 10+ year member]

I need more batteries, and my choice is between the Optima D34/78 and the Stinger SP 1700. I would put in 4 or 5 of the Optima's or 3-4 of the Stingers. I have a 99 tahoe with a 220 amp iraggi alt.

I asked the same question awhile back and decided to go with the stingers. (never really got a answer)

You wont be disapointed.

I have the smaller Scosche (Hawker, who makes it for Stinger as well). You won't be disappointed. I would rather go with the Exide Orbital series (Makes the Metra/Tsunami, Rockford, Lightning and a few others out there or did before) instead of the Optima.

get the stinger/odyssey/hawker

the same exact thing and they'll pwn theoptima group 34.

yea, i know i was just using the stinger name cause not that many people know what odyssey or hawker is. its cool cause i have a guy that deals for odyssey down the street from me. but he is being an *** on prices.

i would do a 14.4 bank lol

 

[photocrazy8 10+ year member]

whats a 14.4 bank, how do you get that?

 

[photocrazy8 10+ year member]

or should i get a second 220 alt?

 

[audiolife 5,000+ posts]

its a kinetik competition peice. its 4 2400s that are set up (modded) to rest at 14.4v several team maxxsonics use them with very good results

 

[photocrazy8 10+ year member]

how much does that run? cause i have a voltage drop problem and i have heard some people say you need more alt and some say to just add a second or more batteries so the draw comes from the batteries before going to you alt. so im still a lil confused. thanks audiolife //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
