Rep Power: 256 HO Alternator or Kinetik battery
Hey y'all need some help. I've got a whole hell of a lot of electronics and I know I'm puttin some strain on my car. I'm running 5 7in screens (Visors, Headrests and indash) as well as 1000W Amp, 2 farad cap, 2 12in Audiobahn SWT12SI subs, and a compressor for my air ride. All this is on a stock alternator and a Duralast Gold Battery.
My question to y'all is should I upgrade to a HO alternator or should I buy a Kinetik Battery. I've heard a lot of really good things about the battery, but I wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with them.

Rep Power: 0 I would use a HO alt for sure but what else have you upgraded electrically? Have you changed the factory power and grounds?, are you going to add another battery, do you have an isolator? there is lots to consider, I am a Kinetik Battery dealer and they are made for audio at best but try optima's for the current load and draw. Remember its all about current flow. What size wire are you using?

Rep Power: 256 I've done the big 3 as far as wire upgrades, and I'm using a duralast gold which I was told was just a little below going with an optima. I was looking at using the Kinetik as a full on replacement.
