Silver Member Username: 420pimp2Post Number: 865 Registered: Jan-06 | Yellowtop, if your trying to spend a few bucks. If not go down to walmart or sears and get a reguler battery for around 110. It will do the same job and comes with core charge and warrenty. Names to me dont mean sh*t if it works and gets the job done for the lowest amount of money possible its good enough for me. I'll stack my everlast walmart battery against that yellowtop bs any day. If you have a killer system and alot of money to waste for no reason then go with the ones most people suggest on here. Matter fact i cant believe no one on here has suggested an optima battery yet, usually thats the first thing everyone suggest for car audio. Any way wal mart or sears/napa will do just fine. Take it easy |

Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 10958 Registered: Jul-06 | yellowtop = sucks walmart "everstart" (i call them neverstart) = worst of the worst For car audio what you need in a battery is fast charge/discharge and large capacity. Odyssey, stinger, kinetik, and others all make good ones. Never used an xs power so cant comment there. |

Silver Member Username: Chevyfan502AQ HDC315Elemental De... Post Number: 167 Registered: May-06 | Awesome thanks for the input guys, I don't post a lot on here but always check in, and I'm glad to see that ecoustics is getting a little better again like when I first came here. OT but btw my current system is: Pioneer 500UB Kicker ZX650.4 CDT CL-52 5 1/4 Comp front stage Alpine Type R 6x9 rear fill AQ 2200D AQ HDC315 Aluminum Coil 4 cubes 37hz and coming soon XS Power 3400 Whataya think?....  |

Silver Member Username: DomenicoBanginGMCArizona Post Number: 784 Registered: Apr-09 | How do you like the HDC315 on that power? (guessing you are running it 1ohm.) |

Silver Member Username: Chevyfan502AQ HDC315Elemental De... Post Number: 168 Registered: May-06 | I think it is very impressive for being in a trunk car. Gets loud and sounds clean. I listen to rap alot, but also a quite a bit of metal and has good response when listening to lamb of god, pantera, mudvayne...etc. Oh yea its wired to 1 ohm. Considering in the near future pushing it with a AQ3500D....would definitely be pushing it though. Absolutely love my CDT's too. Never had the pleasure of hearing the HD's or gold models which I'm sure are completely amazing because I am very impressed with mine. |

Silver Member Username: DomenicoBanginGMCArizona Post Number: 788 Registered: Apr-09 | Im planning on buying two of them, and another aq2200, I only play rap with my systems though. I keep my rock & metal on my ipod. You ever get it metered? AQ3500?! - im interested on how that'll turn out. |

Silver Member Username: DomenicoBanginGMCArizona Post Number: 789 Registered: Apr-09 | Also, how much did that XS run ya? |

Silver Member Username: Chevyfan502AQ HDC315Elemental De... Post Number: 169 Registered: May-06 | Never got it metered on a TL. I got the XS from mechman (free shipping limited time) for $240 plus $20 for the I-bar kit....GM vehicles have side posts. |
