Hi Guys, just wondering as the topic says will I be able to run a 300series Kicker Amp, wiht 2 12" Kicker Comp Subs? I think its just a Standard honda battery...

Thanks

i'm no expert ... but i wouldn't go buy one just yet ... however try it out and maybe get a battery voltage meter or something if you're worried ..

if ur car plays the music at full belt and it stays on then ur fine

see how long it stays on without starting the engine

see how badly the headlights dim when the bass hits when ur engine is idle and ur lights r turned on.

ppl get newer batteries (better batteries) to prevent those things really... its the alternators job to keep the current levels up when the cars moving.

As long as the battery is in good condition I doubt very much you'll need another one.

The first step of upgrading cars electrical system is usually the alternator as the battery is just the storage device remember... doesn't matter how big it is, if the alternator cannot keep it topped up it will still go flat eventually.

Get a capacitor a new battery would help but a good cap would definetly do the trick. Playing around with aftermarket alternators is not a good idea. Extra Batteries are no good, they are just more load.

Other way round dude. A cap is the bandaid fix. An ample battery and upgraded alternator is the first step IF there is a problem...
