Which Kinetik Do I Need?

[mlstrass 5,000+ posts]

I've checked their website and read about a million posts on here, but still not sure.

Here's what I have:

SAZ-1500D

Helix 4 channel

Profile 2 channel

So about 2200 watts when I lean on it.

Electrical:

200amp HO alt

BIG 3 in 1/0

SVR34/78 under the hood

I still get some decent dimming when really cranking it up. I don't have much room in the trunk, but "think" I can squeeze a Kinetik in their. The smaller the better as it's THAT tight.

So what do I need: HC600, 800, 1400, 1800??? Of course I'll run 1/0 or 2/0 from the battery up front. Thanks.....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

HC2400, no such thing as overkill when it comes to electrical.

Not sure if I can fit that one. I'll have to make up a "test" battery to see just how much, or how little room I have.

Sub amp will be hooked directly to this battery, but other 2 amps will still be hooked up under the hood, if that makes a difference.

A 2400 is fine....You could also get a optima yellow top and be fine with that also

you can also get 3-4 600's or 2-3 800's

Don't think I can fit a YT back there.

What about a stocker up front and moving the SVR to the back? Or I'll have to see if I can fit a HC2400.

i would do the multiple smaller batteries if space was an issue.they are shorter/thinner plus 4 600's is also lighter

arnt batcaps pretty small??

 

[audiolife 5,000+ posts]

batcap 800 is pretty equal to kinetik 600 anything smaller in their line up would need a bunch of from what i have seen....

oooh i dont know much about all the highend battery's even tho im gunna need one soon

dont have to really "know" alot just know what things are. battcaps are just made up of smaller cells unless its their 800 (unless they came out with something else)

that 8000 thing its huge haha

What are your ground resistances? What size wiring is connected to your 1500D's ground and (+)?

When are you getting dimming...at idle only?

It doesn't look like you need to buy another battery, just modify your current setup.

2200 watts is asking alot on that battery particularly since its mounted up front ......

Haven't checked ground resistances. Sub amp is grounded to the frame in back, bare metal covered with undercoating. 1/0 Stinger wire to sub amp.

So a single HC800 won't be enough with the SVR up front? Want to do this right, but don't want to overspend if I don't have to. And also the "making it fit" issue as I have 2 15's in the trunk of an Altima and there's not much room left.

I get dimming even when driving down the highway when I crank it up LOUD
