I about to install my Crescendo sub amplifier soon. I need a battery(ies), but am apprehensive about shelling out $349 + for one XS Power D3100. When I saw some of the specs, it seems to be only slightly more powerful than other Agm batteries. I could go down to the local Sears or Auto Zone and get much more affordable batteries. I am only building a street system. What would be wrong with running two Duralast or one Sears marine platinum?
I don't know how your running that amp but at .5 ohm that things pulls some serious power. I had 3 odyssey 1750's and they helped the voltage very well but in the middle of a song on some hard bumps voltage would have no problem dipping.
^^x2 on the sears platinum.^^ and those 2150's are beastly batteries.
I am going to be pressing the amp at one ohm. But from what I am hearing (reading-you tube), it might behoove me to actually get an XS D3100. The manufactures claim that the battery will run 4000 watts as an only battery and 5000 watts as a support battery. i hope some one who has one or is familiar with the batt will weigh in and convince me to spend 349$. Joe, by the way how did your crescendo sound?
