vitesh are you running of your standard battery?

i, sure you know that batteries make a big difference right. anyway i changed to an Optima Yellow Top battery and noticed quite a difference in the amount of bass. especially with that huge amp you running. you need to have a good supply to keep the consistency.


i know soundmatch and autowizz sell the kinetik batteries which are very good and not as pricey as the Optima's.

yea im using my standard battery, everything is just basic... i know i can get more. im still using 4AWG as well...

i know i know, its quiet embarrassing... but i didnt build the system for comps initially, it just came out nice and was told to enter comps...

how much is a yello top? is that a dry cell battery?

yellow top is just over 3k now. its a gell battery which can be mounted in any position.
i think the kinetik is a bit cheaper though

yes its steep but the battery is well worth the money.

before that my lights used to go dim as the bass notes hit, but not anymore.
used to run the battery flat without playing music too long when the car is off, but not anymore.
even my cap was not needed anymore.
