Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 2210 Registered: Oct-05 | What do you think would be better, more powerful, the MA Audio HK 4000D or the Hifonics XX Colossus, which would you get?? Thanx. |

Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 1005 Registered: Sep-06 | Out of those two amps I would get the Hifonics XX-Colossus. My opinion MA Audio needs 17 volts for rated power. Hifonics XX-Colossus needs 14.4 volts for rated power. |

Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 2213 Registered: Oct-05 | Kool thanx guyz i really appreciate all the input, another question, how big is the colossus really, some say its 30 inches, some say its 40, does anyone know the real size of it?? I could get a moded HK 4000D for $399, should i go with the HK, the cheapest i could get the xx colossus is $700, both are on sonicelectronix, but i think the HK4000d is like $900 there. |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 564 Registered: Nov-04 | That amp kit will be fine, but you also need some RCA cables with that. You will most likely need a high output alt to ensure the amp gets enough power, otherwise you're risking blowing your car's charging system and even breaking your stereo equipment. Yellow tops by Optima (people also use kinetik, stinger, etc) are deep cycle batteries, which don't get damaged after a few times of complete discharge, like regular batteries do. This allows you to play your stereo while the car's off and if used as a starter battery, you won't have a problem with a dead battery. Both, alternator and deep cycle battery, are pretty much essential with your setup. |

Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 2216 Registered: Oct-05 | kewl thanx ya i got a pretty good $50 dollar pair of RCA's. Where do they sell yellow tops?? Well do they just add a yellow top or do they only change to a yellow top cuz they like add it in the back, do you know how much those cost?? |

Silver Member Username: OlegSanta Monica, CA USA Post Number: 566 Registered: Nov-04 | I got my yellow top from autozone for $180 or so, but they have them on eBay cheaper - be sure to check for the size that you need. If you get a high output alternator, which everyone here recommends, you'll just replace your stock battery with the yellow top, upgrade the "big 3," and you'll be all set. Big 3 is: 1) Battery negative to chassis 2) Alternator to battery positive 3) Chassis to engine |
