i have System:Hifonics BXi 2608D 2600 Watts RMS Mono Car Amplifier4 ohms: 850 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 1700 watts x 1 chan. 1 ohm: 2600 watts x 1 chan2 KICKER S12L7 12 Solo-Baric Dual 4 ohms750 RMS 1500MAX a pieceI have it on a 5 farad capacitor but i believe that capacitor is a waste cause my lights dim very badly. I realize that kinetik has all different battery sizes. Whats the best battery to get if i run the battery on my my system only.and also what size should i get if i want to run on my car and system i still havent made my mind of
Kinetik makes choosing a Kinetik Power Cell simple. We made our model numbers equal to the wattage needed for your vehicle. For peak performance and the maximum lifespan of all electrical equipment in your car, simply add up the total wattage needed including all amplifiers, lights, winches, video and all other electronics and make sure the model numbers add up the same amount. Allow from 800 to 1200 watts to run the vehicle depending on the electrical requirements if you are replacing the under hood battery also. For example; a car with a stock 90 amp alternator can use up to 1200 watts to run the factory equipment already in the vehicle (90 amps x 13.6 volts 1224 watts). Remember, there is a reason the factory put that size alternator in the vehicle in the first place and it was not so you could have extra power to run your aftermarket equipment! You must add power if you increase the demand. If you add a 1000 watt amp and a 200 watt 4 channel amplifier and allow 1200 watts to run the car then make sure the Kinetik model numbers add up to 2400. 1200+1000+2002400. Assuming you are replacing the starting battery with a Kinetik Power Cell, install the size that best fits the space (for example an 1800) and add the rest of the 2400 needed to the rear near the amplifier (a 600). In this car a KHC1800 and a KHC600 add up to 2400 watts total and the car should have plenty of power assuming everything else is working properly. If you decide to u want a separate battery to run your system i would recommend you buy a battery isolater connect it in between the two batteries by parallel wiring it.
To minimize the dimming, you can do the Big 3 upgrade. A deep cycle battery would be best. Now if the battery is going in the cabin, I would get an AGM or SLA. I would get a larger alternator if your charging the battery with the car. Now the size of the battery, I would get a 100-120Ah battery. I get this estimated Ah by taking 1700W dividing it by 13.8V. I am going by the 750W speaker rating and not the 1500W.
Get pair of 120 amp batteries and put them in parallel and you should have more than 2600 watts to dissipate into the amp. Next you need a big alternator that can feed those batteries, plus the battery tha drives the car. The capacitor isn't going to do squat for this set up.
