Battery questions

[WildSebring 0]

Here in my next build, I'm going with 4 batteries, but am unsure about which to use.

I'm going to be building a wall in my 2 door Chrysler Sebring....2 Sundown Audio 3000D's, 1 15" custom Nightshade(lil bit of tweaking) and a Sundown Audio 100.4 for component set.

I'm running all 0 gauge Kicker Hyperflex wiring, Optima Yellow Top up front with big 3 done with the only alternator available for my vehicle...a Load Boss 160 Amp alternator.

My question being....I know of all these battery companies....and I've used Kinetik but want to go a different route.

How are Powermaster...DEKA Intimdators and any other high amperage brand of AGM batteries stacked up against eacvh other? Is their one better than the other, and where could I find the BEST pricing. I do not have a ton of money to spend, as I'm working on about a $500 budget for the batteries.

Which one will suit me well and have the best bang for buck value?

Anyone suggest another battery that will suit me for what I'm doing or....? Any and all opinions appreciated in advance.

I can't really help you out.. but 2 3000ds off 160 amps? I didn't know 1 could run off that... how do they do with that alternator? or are they not in yet

I had them on the Kinetiks and it performed well...Kinetik kinda ticked me off, so here I am looking for another battery.

It works fine seemingly...voltage never dropped under 13.4's , or 13.3's on music and never under 13.1 volts at competition. They sorta ticked me off, so I'm selling them and going with a differtent company.

But yes, 2 3000D's pounded and never had any voltage issues...but then again, I never get over 1/4 gain and 1/4 bass boost because at that level its already so INSANELY loud its ridiculous.

But I talked to my great sponsor Jakcob Fuller about a Sundown Nightshade 15"(He's taken care of me greatlY) hes going to tweak it a bit, longer coil and whatnot so I can run a pair of 3000D's to it daily as well as competition.

But now I'm looking for another battery choice, and need opinions...because before the Kinetiks, all I ever used was the G31 Optima Yellows...

Dude, Deka has a group buy on ROE right now from Remy Battery. 10% off their already low prices. Go check it out.

I saw that, but I did some research on the DEKA Intimidators, and the only ones I can seem to find are ones with like 700 CCA's and 850 Amps at 32 degrees. Don't they have any around 2000-3000 CCA's or am I missing something?

I saw the group buy.....thanks John, appreciate that very much!!

The 9A31 is the Group 31 big boy that supposedly outputs more than the comparable Kinetic. There's a link in that group buy thread with test results.
