Well let me know whatcha got that you'd be willing to let go for the price I'm looking for.

To give you an Idea, I have a 2000 Chevy Malibu LS, I've upgraded the Big 3, have a (HOA), upgraded the battery to a stronger battery, (But it's just an Auto Craft Advanced American Auto brand), a 2 farad Planet Audio cap, an Xstatic Super 100 (35 farad).

It will be powering (2) Kicker 4 channel ZX450 amps for component speakers, a Mmats 3500.1D running 4 Rockford P3 D2 12s at 1ohm.

Right now I have a Visonik V2908 amp running the subs at 4 ohms bridged doing 1200RMS. The lights don't flicker and I stay between 13.6 & 14.4volts when I'm driving. But when I'm at a light, I dip down into the 12s and finally 11 some odd volts and that's when my amp starts cutting in and out. Unless I cut the volume down.

I hope that helps.

I got the Kinetik 2400, but I won't be able to enjoy it until next week. I got into a minor car accident this past weekend. Some hefa made a last minute right hand turn (right in front of me) from the center lane across my lane. No turn signal, it was rainning and she was on her cell phone talking to her boyfriend whom she was meeting up with. I was in the right hand lane so I broadsided her.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID! I was HOT! After making sure everybody was okay, I popped the trunk to check on my system. Tell me why her boyfriend started running to his car cuz he thought I was grabbin my gun. LOL!

you can find a good battery for under 100 shipped but it will be small. Basscort has a great battery. I have the sprinter battery . just a diff model and love it. I would possibly sell mine for a little more then 100 shipped. it is 63 pounds and 75 ah

I read that wrong. Im not sure if you have already had the 2400 or just bought it.

Oh okay. Naw I just bought it yesterday. I think it'll do the job. The dude just came back from a competition in Tennessee. He took first place with a stock alt, stock batt, the Kinetik 2400, a 2300 watt Audiobahn amp and a Fi BTL 18 in a ported box.

He ran it paralletl and he's never had any issues with it and he rests at 14.4V. I think this should do the trick for my Mmats D3000.1.

What's the best way to hook up my trunk battery? I'm running it without an isolator. My buddy told me that I should just run my hot from the batt up front to my trunk batt then to my cap and amp. For the ground just ground it in the trunk.

If I remember correctly the guy who I got it from said that I should also run a wire from my hood battery's negative post to the negative post of my trunk batt and then groung my trunk batt in my trunk. I don't think that's right. Need some help on this one.

ditch the cap,run both pos and neg from the front batt to the rear batt.hook up amps to rear batt.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif(you could run a ground in the back;i'd make sure it was to a cleaned off spot on the chassis though)

Okay what I've done so far is: I've already ran the pos from batt to batt. I've grounded the batt in back to the chassis in my trunk. I ran a power wire from the batt in the back to my amp.

The amp doesn't gettin enough juice with that. Cuz all it does is make my subs "pulsate" in an out with a loud bump, bump, bump, bump over and over.

The guy who sold me the batt said it's because I didn't run the neg up front to the neg in back. Therefore my back battery isn't charging.

So by running the to negatives together that should fix the problem right. Cuz I know by adding that Kinetik 2400 is enough juice for that Mmats amp, I just don't have it hooked up right. Thanks yall again for all your help so far.
