@@ineedbass1 hey bruv I’ve been trying to find out if I can connect a lifepo4 lithium battery to a titan8 lithium under the hood battery. I’m looking into getting the titan8 but I’m trying to make sure.
@@GLO_187 yeah you can run them both together. But if you want...you can do a battery delete under your hood. And just run the lifepo4. Basically you keep the lifepo4 in the back and run your power wires straight to your alternator and anything else connected to the original battery. 🤟🏽🔥
it also depends on the efficiency of your amps... i have a 2500 watt Shark amp that is very efficient.. when i changed to a brazil style 3500W amp... my electricals struggled.. and i have a 270a mech man alt and 2 D3400's... plan to get a 400A and a few batteries.. its too cold to be out working on my system now.. my garage isnt heated and wont fit my truck anyway..its teeny.. so ii am re-do the whole thing in the spring.. just start getting parts over the winter... love the channel

Would I HAVE to do more like upgraded alt, I’m on a budget so please help me out
I would go with this battery for your setup. It does cost some money. But its a powerful battery. And it's reliable when it comes to bass. amzn.to/3TXkwlW
Would I need anything extra for 2 12 SDRs on Skar1200 amp ? I have stock alt 125 and 45Ah battery. I noticed my light dimming slightly when I full tilt
@BookChapterAndVerse I would go with this battery right here! It's a powerhouse! I've been running mine for 5 years now without any issues! This battery ran my car and my system with ease! 🔥🤟🏽 amzn.to/4hFAiNg
Go to this website and get you a lithium battery. It'll be way cheaper than the xs battery in this video bro. Trust me, you won't regret it. jag35.com/products/fully-assembled-12v-lev60f-battery-lifepo4 And you can use my code "ineedbass" and it'll save you some money. This battery will hold the power that you need for your system, plus more! 👍🏽
The ustart is a ultra capacitor. It'll store energy for your system. And keep your battery from dropping when bass hits! Some will say this is great option to get, if you're not ready for a alternator.
I would only add a secondary battery if you like playing your music with the car off or if your headlights are dimming. But if you're not experiencing anything like dimming. You should be pretty good bro 👍
How do the battery’s do with stock 150 amp alternators does it take away power from other places while the other charges as well, I already have a huge battery in my car about the size of a semi battery stock with 150 amp alternator being stock as well
First I will say, great amp! 👍 Second, make sure your grounds to your amp is fully connected and probably grounded to your chassis. That could be lacking your power. If all that is good. I would recommend the D3400 XS battery. That would give you the boost you need and then some for future upgrades. 👍Hope this helps bro!
adding an extra battery on a stock alternator will only put more stress on the alternator right? And batteries are only good for when your car is idling right? It all starts with upgrading the alternator right?
Honestly I never had a problem with having a stock alternator and a upgraded battery. Before I upgraded my batteries, I noticed dimming lights. Cause I didn't have enough power going through my system. Especially added with a big 3 upgrade. Works perfectly 👍
@@ineedbass1 So no second battery I can just upgrade the stock one to one of these and solve dimming issues? I'm guessing though that most of these batteries won't fit in the stock location though? I'm just trying to see if I can just upgrade or if I have to have another battery sitting in my trunk taking up more room.
Correct. Adding a battery with more capacity means the alternator will need to work longer to recharge it. Do an alternator upgrade FIRST if you can only do one, but plan to upgrade both.
@@jimjones3287 to be honest, I've seen alot of car audio shows where people replaced their car batteries for a xs battery. I've done it before myself. And it starts right up every time. But if you're worried about the alternator. You can get a higher amp one, that won't break your pockets. I bought a 300 amp alternator for $189 on ebay. Brand new, and it's still going. 👍
Problem with alternators is cost to have replaced. I’ve been quoted $900-$1,200 to have a HO alt installed in my ‘21 Honda. Can’t even see the alternator from the top of engine. Pretty much gotta hoist the car up to work on it. Then you have issues with the regulator acting up on new cars and lights popping up on the dash.
Really depends on your setup. I run a D3400 XS battery under my hood and two of them in the back. As far as your alternator, I would definitely get a mechman, their pretty pricey. But great alternators for car audio. 👍

@@nicoledeidre36No I couldn't because my voltage was dropping & headlights were dimming.. I've upgraded to a yellowtop 34/78 so far, working on my alternator & secondary now.
Running two D3400s and a D975 with a 250 large hairpin case alternator in my Silverado running a DDM2000, soundigital 1200.4 and a dsp. May be overkill, but rather too much then too little.
I would go with this battery right here...your still in the safe zone. But you're pushing close to that 2000 watt range. But this will handle your situation and then some. 👍🏽 amzn.to/3vHYGut
Awesome video, I was looking at the xs power d series 4900 agm to go with my mechman 320 alt. You think that 1 battery would be enough for my 2.5k system? I was gonna add a d4s LTO 6.0 if needed or was thinking I could maybe get the xs titan 8 s5 pwr 4900 lithium under the hood and maybe run my while vehicle but not sure if it will or not since it looks like lower ah then the agm.
I appreciate it bro! 👍 And I think you'll be fine with 4900 agm. Especially if you want upgrade more wattage later on. It'll give you some more breathing room. 👍
@I NEED BASS!!! awesome I was hoping with my 320A mechman that the xs d 4900 agm would be enough for my system. My amp I'm getting is prolly gonna be the DD M2000 so I was hoping with the high output alternator I'd could get jus the xs agm which I believe is 100ah. I'm mainly gonna be listening to my system while I'm driving, no demoing or playing while in park or anything. Thanks alot dude 👊

That's a great question, as you stated. You don't know what the RMS wattage are. And I know sundown does draw some power. I would recommend this battery amzn.to/3sdG3wE I believe this one is a great price and will help with keeping great power storage for your system. 👍
Hey bro I have 2018 CRV ex - I installed Skar EVL 8in bundle Sub pack in my car (600w RMS sub and 800w amplifier) and the car stopped do i need a powerful battery like XS power 51R in the engine bay to handle and I also i have OEM alternator. if i just change the batter would it be good or do i need a alternator too?
It sounds like you might have a alternator problem if your car stopped on you. Hopefully not. But if you're only running under a thousand watts. You shouldn't need to change the alternator out. But I've seen stranger things. But definitely upgrade your battery, because that will definitely help you in the long run.
@@ineedbass1 so I was on high driving I couldn’t accelerate because the engine was shaking and so many light popped on the dash and it was limited 2k rpm and I couldn’t accelerate but I was starting. I thought this because of the subwoofer install because I got it install 3days before and I knew the car was about to gradually slowing down. But usually these would work on the oem battery and Oem alternator right? I also got timing belt replaced 15days ago at 60k miles and I was wondering this all happened because of that causing the engine to shake and stop.
@@sairangineeniI hate that for you bro! And yeah that would make me have some questions too after a system install. But yeah man, you can buy one of the xs batteries. I prefer the xs power D3400. That battery is a monster! I hope you figure out what's really going on with your vehicle bro!
@@ineedbass1 yea bro I just dropped it off dealer they’ll notify me this week, if they say anything about the battery then I might get the XS power 51R since that would be a oem fit. Thanks
@@roseastackpapper if you wanna get windy! I suggest you play some lower hz. 18 to 25 hz should help. But it could mean you need bigger subs with a high excursion to to them. I hope that helps! 👍
Serious question. Would 2 stinger spp2150 batteries wit a 320 alternator be enough juice for a 2 or 3k system ? Also got an agm up front . To be specific I’m running a Rockford 2500 for subs. And jl 400 for mids and highs
Is it better to have a stronger primary or secondary battery? I have two xs power one being a xs d3100 and the other is a smaller one but can't recall, which is better to put as my primary?
Great question! If you're just bumpin your system with the alternator running. Which alot of us do. I would recommend charging it a couple times a week. If you don't drive your car often. I would charge it once a week to keep healthy. If you drive it and it connected in parallel, you don't have to worry much about charging it. Just keep a eye on the voltage! 👍
@@ineedbass1 thank you for your reply. i have a lead acid up front and a agm in the back with power wire connecting both. can i disconnect the secondary battery and run it directly to the alternator. would that work better instead of the lead acid charging the agm.
I’m goin to be upgrading my system to 2 12s L7 Q class 1800 RMS w/ CXA 1800.1 and a 4 channel 750 watts also I have a Airbag system. And I’m going to be adding 2 screens on the rear seats. What size battery would u recommend
@@NoName-gk2sj my recommendation is ofc wire(oxygen free copper) I have another video on my channel. That will explain the different types of wire you can use in car audio. I made it not long ago. 👍
I have a 1250 and a 3000 amp, my car shakes while idling, plus my battery is a little old, what kind of battery do you recommend? I’m just going to run one battery , the one in front only , yellow top optima or XS? And what kind ?

I would definitely run a xs3400 battery, especially if you want to upgrade a little more than 3000 in the future. 👍 Thanks for the comment. If you have any questions about anything. Just hit me up 👍😁
@@alexandergodina1787 you can add a second battery with your original car battery if you want. But if you plan on upgrading to a bigger system. I would get this battery and wont worry about anything in the future. amzn.to/3Phzgd8 This battery alone ran my car and 8000 watt system for years with no complaints. It's pricey, but it's worth it. Some people use them as racing batteries for there cars. 👍
XS Power doesn't honor their warranty they will do anything to get out of sending you another one and make you pay to send it to them. They claim you send it to him and then they claim you neglected it and that's why it doesn't charge.
Lol You should keep your stock battery and just get a secondary battery for the back. I would recommend xs battery D3400. It can be used as a secondary battery or replacement for your stock.
It's safe to run them both together. Now some lithium and agm batteries don't mix well with each other. But you should be good. I've been doing it for years without any problems! 👍
@@ineedbass1 wish I had of known. Everywhere I've read they say the lead will bring down the agm. I have a xs 4700 on the way for my Mustang which I was going to just use under the hood. Now I'm thinking should I just run it in the trunk now,do I need a isolator?
@@FJTabb if you want to run a isolator, you can. It's basically the users choice. I normally would run my xs battery under my hood. It works just as good. If not better than a normal battery. 👍
I have a little BS battery in my car. I want to do a custom audio upgrade with a +1000 Watt Amp + subwoofer + speaker's. Is there no way to just run a big power car battery for everything? I was thinking of relocating it to the trunk. Why do I need 2 batteries?
@@MrVuittonDon great question. We all know the battery starts the car and then the alternator takes over. But with everything running in the car, the extra battery will contain extra power storage and also deliver the juice you want when you have a bigger system. I won't lie, the xs power battery D3400, will run about $400. On my channel, I have a affiliate link with showtime electronics. I can't remember what the percentage is for it. But you will get some money knocked off your battery if you choose to get it. I know $400 is alot of money. And not everyone has that on the spot. Lol my channel is built around budget car audio. So I know how it is.
@@MrVuittonDon most definitely, most guys will get high output alternators for certain car audio builds. But you're trying to do above 4000 watts or more. I would definitely consider looking into it. Like I said, if your only gonna do 1000 watts. You won't have to worry about it. 1000 watts only needs 90 amps and your alternator may have more than that already. But if you decide you want more wattage later, you should definitely get one.

I have a stock 150amp alternator and the big 3 done with 0gauge ofc wire. If I get 1 more batter fore the system alone would that be enough not to worry? And what battery would I need if it is okay? Would I HAVE to do more like upgraded alt, I’m on a budget so please help me out
I would go with this battery for your setup. It does cost some money. But its a powerful battery. And it's reliable when it comes to bass.

Would I need anything extra for 2 12 SDRs on Skar1200 amp ? I have stock alt 125 and 45Ah battery. I noticed my light dimming slightly when I full tilt
Have you performed a big 3 upgrade? If not, that may help. If that doesn't work. You may have to get a secondary battery for your ride.
@ yeah I plan to do the big 3 & im looking into a second battery as well. Hope that’ll solve the problem. Wat battery u recommend
@BookChapterAndVerse I would go with this battery right here! It's a powerhouse! I've been running mine for 5 years now without any issues! This battery ran my car and my system with ease! 🔥🤟🏽 amzn.to/4hFAiNg
Can i use my lead acid battery under the hood, and use a xs power agm on the trunk?
Yeah I've done it for years with mine and had no problems! 👍🏽
I have a stock 160 amp alternator and I'm wondering if I can do the big 3 and keep stock electrical and run a skar rp 2000 amp
Most definitely bro! You'll be fine! 👍🏽
I’m running 4000watts 200amp alternator what battery do I need to stop my lights from blinking I’ve also done the big 3 upgrade
Go to this website and get you a lithium battery. It'll be way cheaper than the xs battery in this video bro. Trust me, you won't regret it.

And you can use my code "ineedbass" and it'll save you some money. This battery will hold the power that you need for your system, plus more! 👍🏽
So what’s the purpose of the ustart?
The ustart is a ultra capacitor. It'll store energy for your system. And keep your battery from dropping when bass hits! Some will say this is great option to get, if you're not ready for a alternator.
I have two amps one is 1100w and one is 2400 do I need a 2nd battery
I would only add a secondary battery if you like playing your music with the car off or if your headlights are dimming. But if you're not experiencing anything like dimming. You should be pretty good bro 👍

How do the battery’s do with stock 150 amp alternators does it take away power from other places while the other charges as well, I already have a huge battery in my car about the size of a semi battery stock with 150 amp alternator being stock as well
Good question! I normally run everything in parallel so everything will be charged up together. They should work fine with your alternator. 👍
@@ineedbass1 thanks a lot bro
@@mmid8960 no problem bro 💯
I have a Skar rp2000 not getting enough power what do you recommend?
First I will say, great amp! 👍 Second, make sure your grounds to your amp is fully connected and probably grounded to your chassis. That could be lacking your power. If all that is good. I would recommend the D3400 XS battery. That would give you the boost you need and then some for future upgrades. 👍Hope this helps bro!
adding an extra battery on a stock alternator will only put more stress on the alternator right? And batteries are only good for when your car is idling right? It all starts with upgrading the alternator right?
Honestly I never had a problem with having a stock alternator and a upgraded battery. Before I upgraded my batteries, I noticed dimming lights. Cause I didn't have enough power going through my system. Especially added with a big 3 upgrade. Works perfectly 👍
@@ineedbass1 So no second battery I can just upgrade the stock one to one of these and solve dimming issues? I'm guessing though that most of these batteries won't fit in the stock location though? I'm just trying to see if I can just upgrade or if I have to have another battery sitting in my trunk taking up more room.
Correct. Adding a battery with more capacity means the alternator will need to work longer to recharge it. Do an alternator upgrade FIRST if you can only do one, but plan to upgrade both.
@@jimjones3287 to be honest, I've seen alot of car audio shows where people replaced their car batteries for a xs battery. I've done it before myself. And it starts right up every time. But if you're worried about the alternator. You can get a higher amp one, that won't break your pockets. I bought a 300 amp alternator for $189 on ebay. Brand new, and it's still going. 👍
Problem with alternators is cost to have replaced. I’ve been quoted $900-$1,200 to have a HO alt installed in my ‘21 Honda. Can’t even see the alternator from the top of engine. Pretty much gotta hoist the car up to work on it. Then you have issues with the regulator acting up on new cars and lights popping up on the dash.
Ok so whats considered a big system?
When you start reaching over 2000 watts. That's when you need to start considering more power. Batteries, alternators, ofc wire. 👍
I need a new audio alternator, agm battery under the hood & for my trunk, what do you recommend bro?
Really depends on your setup. I run a D3400 XS battery under my hood and two of them in the back. As far as your alternator, I would definitely get a mechman, their pretty pricey. But great alternators for car audio. 👍

I would say depends on your electrical. If you have a alternator thats high output. I would just get the D3400 XS power battery. 👍
Running two D3400s and a D975 with a 250 large hairpin case alternator in my Silverado running a DDM2000, soundigital 1200.4 and a dsp. May be overkill, but rather too much then too little.

Do I need and extra battery for one sub(1000rms) 0n a 1500rms amp and 400rms amp for mids and hi’s. If so what size battery?

amzn.to/3vHYGut
Awesome video, I was looking at the xs power d series 4900 agm to go with my mechman 320 alt. You think that 1 battery would be enough for my 2.5k system? I was gonna add a d4s LTO 6.0 if needed or was thinking I could maybe get the xs titan 8 s5 pwr 4900 lithium under the hood and maybe run my while vehicle but not sure if it will or not since it looks like lower ah then the agm.
I appreciate it bro! 👍 And I think you'll be fine with 4900 agm. Especially if you want upgrade more wattage later on. It'll give you some more breathing room. 👍
@I NEED BASS!!! awesome I was hoping with my 320A mechman that the xs d 4900 agm would be enough for my system. My amp I'm getting is prolly gonna be the DD M2000 so I was hoping with the high output alternator I'd could get jus the xs agm which I believe is 100ah. I'm mainly gonna be listening to my system while I'm driving, no demoing or playing while in park or anything. Thanks alot dude 👊

Hey bro I have 2018 CRV ex - I installed Skar EVL 8in bundle Sub pack in my car (600w RMS sub and 800w amplifier) and the car stopped do i need a powerful battery like XS power 51R in the engine bay to handle and I also i have OEM alternator. if i just change the batter would it be good or do i need a alternator too?
It sounds like you might have a alternator problem if your car stopped on you. Hopefully not. But if you're only running under a thousand watts. You shouldn't need to change the alternator out. But I've seen stranger things. But definitely upgrade your battery, because that will definitely help you in the long run.
@@ineedbass1 so I was on high driving I couldn’t accelerate because the engine was shaking and so many light popped on the dash and it was limited 2k rpm and I couldn’t accelerate but I was starting.
I thought this because of the subwoofer install because I got it install 3days before and I knew the car was about to gradually slowing down.
But usually these would work on the oem battery and Oem alternator right?
I also got timing belt replaced 15days ago at 60k miles and I was wondering this all happened because of that causing the engine to shake and stop.
@@sairangineeniI hate that for you bro! And yeah that would make me have some questions too after a system install. But yeah man, you can buy one of the xs batteries. I prefer the xs power D3400. That battery is a monster! I hope you figure out what's really going on with your vehicle bro!
@@ineedbass1 yea bro I just dropped it off dealer they’ll notify me this week, if they say anything about the battery then I might get the XS power 51R since that would be a oem fit.

Is it better to have a stronger primary or secondary battery? I have two xs power one being a xs d3100 and the other is a smaller one but can't recall, which is better to put as my primary?

I have a agm xs power D1200 and i heard that i have to charge it with a battery charger, can you say how often must i charge it
Great question! If you're just bumpin your system with the alternator running. Which alot of us do. I would recommend charging it a couple times a week. If you don't drive your car often. I would charge it once a week to keep healthy. If you drive it and it connected in parallel, you don't have to worry much about charging it. Just keep a eye on the voltage! 👍
@@ineedbass1 thank you for your reply. i have a lead acid up front and a agm in the back with power wire connecting both. can i disconnect the secondary battery and run it directly to the alternator. would that work better instead of the lead acid charging the agm.

XS Power doesn't honor their warranty they will do anything to get out of sending you another one and make you pay to send it to them. They claim you send it to him and then they claim you neglected it and that's why it doesn't charge.

Is there no way to just run a big power car battery for everything? I was thinking of relocating it to the trunk. Why do I need 2 batteries?
For a 1000 watt system, I wouldn't worry too much about a extra battery. My xs power D3400 battery can run my car and handle 2000 watts, maybe more.
@@ineedbass1 so why people get extra batteries to begin with? Have any coupon codes for this battery?
@@MrVuittonDon great question. We all know the battery starts the car and then the alternator takes over. But with everything running in the car, the extra battery will contain extra power storage and also deliver the juice you want when you have a bigger system. I won't lie, the xs power battery D3400, will run about $400. On my channel, I have a affiliate link with showtime electronics. I can't remember what the percentage is for it. But you will get some money knocked off your battery if you choose to get it. I know $400 is alot of money. And not everyone has that on the spot. Lol my channel is built around budget car audio. So I know how it is.
@@ineedbass1 I saw some guys got upgraded alternators...first time I ever seen that. Are you familiar with them?
@@MrVuittonDon most definitely, most guys will get high output alternators for certain car audio builds. But you're trying to do above 4000 watts or more. I would definitely consider looking into it. Like I said, if your only gonna do 1000 watts. You won't have to worry about it. 1000 watts only needs 90 amps and your alternator may have more than that already. But if you decide you want more wattage later, you should definitely get one.
