What battery ?

[Jpagan1993]

I am going to be running a 1000 rms amp soon and I want to know what battery I would need for under the hood. I was looking at a powermaster d1200, but was not sure how it would do in 10 degree weather. I also thought about getting a powermaster d925 in the trunk, but I only have a 105 amp alt. what should I do?

itll do as good as any other agm battery

so should I go ahead and buy a d1200 along with some 1/0 to do the big 3?

i would look twords an optima yellow if i lived in ten degree weather bud, there better known for rough enviornment than an hc batt! BTJMO!!

should I just keep the stock battery and add a d925 in the back?

kinetic? =] And even if you get a bigger one, I'd still keep the stock battery if you can fit them both. I mean, the more the better, right?

[Jpagan1993]

Kinetik out back?

[98NeonRT]

How much can you spend? With a 105 amp alt and a big kinetic up front, you should be fine with 1000 watts. Kinetic 2400.

hc2400 is way too big and I want to spend about 200

[98NeonRT]

Just keep your stock one, and put the biggest one you can out back.

kinetik hc1200 in the back would work.

[Jpagan1993]

Is it okay to mix different batteries? I am not sure what type of battery is under the hood now but, its just a normal oem type battery.If I have a kinetik in the back connected to the stock battery will I be fine?

best would be to have 2 matched batteries 1 under the hood and one in back

you can mix sizes but not recommended to mix types

Even if they were not the same brand it would work, thing is it can/ will effect the life of the batteries. Best scenario would be 2 of the same type/size/age. Either way It could last for years if propperly cared for but I doubt it would last as long as 2 matched batteries as they would require even less care to do the same thing.
