Awesome

I've had this in my truck for the past 3 years and its still running strong. I have 2000W of mmats and Rockford Fosgate amps running off of this and theres barely any dimming even with an 80amp alternator.

This is an excellent battery. I have an 04 silverado single cab. I have 2 amps. One is a hedonic Brutus BRX 1600.1D and the other is a power acoustic PS800. The Brutus is drawing 1200 rms amps @ 2 ohms and the PA is drawing 150 rms amps x 2. No more light dimming and volts do not go below 13.7. Thats not bad considering I have the factory alternator that puts out 105 amps. No cons. Thanks again Sonic

This thing is a beast. I have an 04 silverado single cab with a factory 1025 amp alternator. I have 2 amps hooked up, a power acoustic ps800 and a Hispanics BRX1600.1D. The brutus is pulling 1200 rms amps @ 2 ohms and the PA is pulling 150 rms x 2 @ 4 ohms and my volts do not go lower than 13.5. My lights do not fluctuate any more. The battery along with the big 3 upgrade I had already done solved all my voltage problems. I would definately recommend this battery. No cons at all. Thanks again Sonic

This battery is massive. Weight is like 50lbs. Works even harder when cold. Volt gauge starts out @ like 15 volts. Awesome battery and complements the big three wire kit.

Kinetic 1800

I got fosgate 1000-1 and 400-4 using all 1000 rms for sub and about 360 rms for other amp. I have a 2013 fusion which is canbus and has a computer controlled alternator. So before battery it was horrible playing a full volume as it would make idling ruff and subwoofer would cut out. Now with battery no more subwoofer cutting out and minimal idle bounce. If I can re do it I would try the 2400 even though 1800 recommended for what I have but it does not consider the type of car I have. Bass sounds louder than before. One issue are the post run small in diameter making it do difficult to use the basic connections I had so would be purchasing some new ones as they are slipping off.

Great for Jeeps Too

running this in the trunk of my cherokee (it fits right in the cubby hole on the right side with a little cutting of plastic.) with 2/0 wire to the front. i have a variety of amps totally of about 1900w rms. this thing fires up the old 4.0L without dropping below 11 volts under cranking. i had this in my last car as well, and had a newbie mistake... dropped a ground upgrade wire on the positive terminal, in which is promptly destroyed. These batteries are crazy even compared to the yellow top i had before it. floating voltage typically sits around 12.5 - 12.7 without engine running or anything turned on.

the only thing i dont like about this are the screw in terminals. no matter how hard i try, when tightening them down, they still move after. they loosen way too easily. i havent stripped them out, they just still turn after the bolt is tight.

Killer Kinetik

I ordered two of these to upgrade and replace an Optima Yellow Top an add one to the trunk, immediatly after swapping just the front battery I did not experience fading of my lights or sound performance. With addition of second battery it's not a question to the stability of the power supply. Over 2X the output for the same price i paid for my yellow top, a must have.
