What battery to complete my system?

[SocialStealth]

So I have about 1100 rms from my amps.

Just bought a 140 amp alt.

plan to do big 3 soon (is it better to ground all points at the same spot? or does it not matter?)

Stock battery though... I have a compact sedan (2002 mazda protege)

What battery should I use to complete my system?

What brand and what specs/model?

And I'd like to spend around $100 give or take some but less is more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

His C & D's are apparently = to a 3700 something kinetic batt. Which is much more than I need. And the 100 + 70$ shipping is a bit high considering I need a battery about half as good as the C & D //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Other suggestions?

And I don't want 2 batteries... just one

to tell you the truth with that alt and a big three i cant imagine you having any issues with what you are using now.. are your lights dimming? for $100 i dont see any other options besides a new standard battery from auto zone, see if they have a better battery that will fit you car. one with more c.c.a. and a.h., another option would be a cap(cap should be the very last option)

Duralast gold 640 cold cranking Amps (800 cranking Amps) 100 minute reserve. $89.00 after you give them your old battery. Auto Zone.

this is assuming the battery you're using right now isnt as big.
