The H/O alternator wont help much either. You really need another battery. I add another battery when my RMS gets to 1500 watts, everytime I dont I get complaints like crazy. |

Silver Member Username: Holt_champHtown, MI Post Number: 242 Registered: Oct-06 | it said to get 2 additional batteries. would that be nessecery for a kx.2500 amp?? also i am replacing my starting battery so i need to get 3 new bats?? that seems like its too much. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 1992 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah i think they reccomend more then you neeed. but that kicker amp is a beast. so id see if you can fit a 1400 under your hood and stick otherone in the back or a bigger one like 2000 or 2400 |

Silver Member Username: Holt_champHtown, MI Post Number: 246 Registered: Oct-06 | i heard that the 2 batteries will fight for power and i need something to help. if so what do i need? |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 1994 Registered: Jan-06 | not if you get the same ones. or iv read that you can run anysize kinetiks togather. email them and ask about that last part though |
