kinetik power cells are absolutly amazing do it . How many watts is your total system ?
im running two 800 watt mono blocks and a 1600 watts 4 channel and my lights and my sound quality is full no dimming or quality drops in music

nice^^^^

cobaltguy88

nice man!

well, in watts, my system as of right now is putting about 1000watts... im upgrading to an Alpine amp that puts out 1200 watts....

i thought it was about RMS ratings, not watts... hmm... confused??

I think the 1800 should do what you need

the 800hc will do just fine and if you open your floor board up on the left side of your tire it will fit there perfectly

cobaltguy88

yeah thats what i was thinking too man.. the 800 might just do it... but im not guna be BLASTIN my music, just enough so that it doesnt dim... i hate that...

If you plan to upgrade to a 1200 watt amp the chart they provide says you need at least a 1400, if you ever happen to upgrade again then better go one up from that to save you from having to buy another one in the future.

are u replacing the stock bat or adding a second one. the 1800 is a bit high for the stock floor board and will push it up. Honestly i would do a 1400 in the stock location and a 600 on the side

cobaltguy88

well i plan on keeping the stock battery and just adding the kinetik power cell to it... is that bad?

not 100% but its an overall better decision IMO. a single 1400 is better then the stock bat and a 1f cap IMO and with batteries and electrical usually the weakest link limits the whole system. although the stock batt + the 800 would be enough for a 1200w amp

I have 2 1400hc's in my ride and they are good. I did have one fail, but sent it to kinetik and they sent me a new one. Took almost a month and i had to pay the shipping, but it was actually out of warranty and they replaced it anyway.

Kinetic power cell eh?..... Sounds like an alternative to a flux capacitor

its really just a battery that has a low esr so it reacts very quickly to voltage changes

what are the dimensions for the stock battery cause i was planning on replacing it with an 1800

cobaltguy88

i just installed a hc600 and it works just fine.. i dont bump it all the way so the 600 works just fine... no more dimming lights!! yay

I have plenty of customers that use them and love them. One guy has a 1400 and is running 2 12" L7s and 2 750.1 kicker mono blocks, using it as cap and has no issues.

BTW if anyone needs them let us know as we do carry them as well.

cobaltguy88

dam thats a lot of power.. im pushing 800 watts max so the hc600 did well for me... good thing to know a vendor on here sells them as well

waaaaay better than ANY cap you can buy, imo

-the.k.w.c-

i talked to the kinetik rep and he said if your going to match a battery to your car all you have to do is add up what the car needs and how many watts max your stereo is as long as its not bs sony max power rateings and then u look at there site and match a battery...these things are beasts they even make a 16v batery for you comp guys
