i need a new battery and im getting one today. is there a certain brand or type of battery that will last long with subs hooked to it? i have a 1000 watt amp connected now and i think i need a stronger battery? help!

 

Generally, as long as you're not running more than 1000-1500 watts "RMS", then a good battery and 4 AWG amplifier kit will suffice. If you want a good battery, then go with the (more expensive than typical) Optima Battery. They run about 175-200 at Kragen and Autozone.

Also, make sure your cable terminals are in good condition!

Cheers

 

yea im definately going with a more top dollar battery, just had a new alternator put in a couple months ago so mite as well just top it off and be good to go for a bit.
thanks

 

Die Hard or Insterstate are great brands to look at. Very reliable and durable.

 

I would add one of those capacitor to your amp. The big one that are suppose supply extra juice when the music has a "loud" boom or bass to it.

 

It doesn't matter, their all the same, unless you spend some good bucks. If you really have a nice sound system, spending money on a good battery shouldn't be a problem.

 

i got a die cast yellow top w/ 960 cca
i should be set for awhile

 

got a red top with 910cca. it holds up to my system. mine is i think 1350rms/2600peak on the amp and 2650rms/5500peak on the sub. so its a good amount.
