Should I replace the battery under the hood? Need opinions

I also can have 2 Stinger Spv70s under the hood but based on their specs, hc1400 is a better battery correct?

I need to know if (2) HC1400s would be sufficent?

or I could look into one Kinetik 2400

going off of spec or recommendation? last I knew CA and CCA does not compute into any type of car audio spec....

I want to get the best pair or best big battery for under the hood so I dont have to worry about running an extra one in the back..

I might buy the tray that fits 2 yellowtop D34/78.. and a yellowtop measures 10" in length, 6 7/8" in width.. which means this tray will give me space of 10" x 13 3/4" to play around with..

so I am looking at my options that would fit in this tray.. so thats why I asked if 2 HC1400s would be good?

or any other batteries you guys would suggest with this kind of space?

should at least be pretty decent, the spv70 is a good battery in its own right and iirc is bigger than a kinetik 1400..I just got done yesterday messing with 2 sp1000's and they didnt seem any better than the version 1 sp1000 I had. SPV70 id bigger with higher aH than a sp1000 but my lights dim with the sp1000 in under 1 hours worth of use. Last year the SPV in cooler weather performed better than sp1000. Reason I bring that up is the spv70 is actually rated lower than the sp1000 by about 300 watts

here is the pic of the tray that I might be buying once this guy finds the tray somewhere in his garage..

now you get an idea of what kind of space I am going to work with, let me know what do you think or recommend, thanks

i just double checked and found out that spv70 is out of the picture since it is 10 inches long in the length..

Unless I am going to run one of them under the hood and another one in the back, but that is not what I want..

for the Ah rating, do you combine the ratings when using 2 batteries separately? for example lets say yellowtops got a rating of 55 Ah so when I run 2 yellowtops then my total Ah rating is going to be 110? or there is something like a calculation with Ah ratings when combining 2 batteries?
