Phoenix Gold Phorum

I am thinking of replacing my stock battery and going kinetic 1400 but
also want to install a second battery in the rear.

According to their site (105 x 13.6) thats
what I need to run just the accessories of the truck
for the battery under the hood.

If the Xenon amps are underated whats a safe assumption of total max rms?
1-x200.4, 2-x600.1

What size battery do I install in the rear?

Or can I stay with stock up front and install a Kinetik in the rear?


Thanks

As far as the wattage output shoot for 750-800 watts for each X600.1. The X200.4 I've never seen with an actual birthsheet only the generic hand written ones (usually around 930 total watts or so). I wouldn't go much more than the 225 watts per channel. I'm very sure that it will handle more, but for safety concerns that should be a good number.

I hope this helps some, use those calculations to punch into the Kinetic website for their recommendations on battery size.

powermaster batt! Enough said, bigger, and badder

Assuming you have a good alternator and you don't listen to the stereo with the car turned off for extended periods of time, a single good battery should be waaay more than enough.

Adding a second battery increases the complexity of your charging system. You will need an isolator diode, otherwise the resistance of the cable going from the front to the back will cause a voltage difference on the rear battery, so they will drain each other. The isolator disconnects the rear battery until you turn the car on.

Personally I would buy the best Kinetik you can fit up front and be done with it.

I agree on the PowerMaster idea, if not Deka or SVR.
