Quick Question - Battery

[runteldat 10+ year member]

Ok, just a quick question. I'm going to be running two amps - that put out 1000-1500 rms....MTX 1501D Amps - rated 1000rms at 12.5v and 1500 @ 14.4 volts.

At first, I was only going to run one powermaster d3100 battery.

Do you think I'll need another d3100? Or will 1 do just fine?

If I use two batteries, should I run 2 runs of 1/0 wire, or just 1 and then connect the batteries?

Thanks.

1 batt is fine but 2 would be more efficient. let me ask you this though! Do you plan on upgrading your system at a later date?

Um, yeah maybe in a year or two....you know how addicting this stuff is.

I plan on doing 2 18" BTLs in the future. It'll probably be a while though.

Got the 2 9500 15s for $500, so I went with those. Can't really beat that price.
