I am gunna be adding a second battery in my Accord for the next build guys and I was wondering if this will be enough... I will be running about 3000 RMS (Thats rounded up to be safe) The car just got a new Deka batt up front from the dealer so itll stay... I was thinkin a single XS D3400 in the back, will it be enough?

i run about 2500 rms in my setup. i have a D3400 up front, and a 170 amp alt. thats it. my voltage is very good driving. doesnt drop much at all. like 14+. but at idle, by votlage does drop since my alt puts out less. prolly dropping into the 12's at LOW idle. the alt is basiclly putting out nothing at that point though.

So your D3400 is your only batt? I should be ok with one a second batt with a stock alt then I think?

For my 3k in my daily civic I'll run a h/o alt (still waiting from dcpower), and at least 1 battery in the back with regular battery up front.

Probably the same... It says this batt is good for 4000 watts but idk under what circumstances that is...

That is under daily use circumstances. The D3400 is good for 2500watts as the starting battery and 4000watts as the secondary battery. Of course if you are going to be competing or doing demos you will want some more power.
