Battery swap/upgrade


Ok so im looking to power an atomic 3000.1d and a sound magus cp91, lefts say 4k rms total.

i have a 200 amp alternator rite now and a stock battery under the hood. i also have a hc2400 in the trunk. and my voltage stays up at about 13.6 at full tilt.

i want to build a new box for 3 12's or 2 15's but i cant fit it in there with the hc2400 in there now.

i was wondering if i could swap out the battery under the hood for a Batcap 3000 and then ditch the hc2400.

according to batcap the 3k delivers 3000 CCA and supposedly has a really fast discharge and recharge rate. has anyone every tried these batteries and know how much power they can support?

Ideally i would like to put a batcap 3000 under the hood and then not have a battery in the trunk. Will i be ok?

If not im gonna have to buy a bunch of the batcap 300's (or somthing else that tiny) and cram then around my spare tire. How many Bat cap 300's will i need to add if i cant get buy with just the single batcap 3000?

does anyone know where to get a batcap 3000 for a reasonable price? i found the 2k's for $200 shipped but i cant find the 3k's for less than $400 shipped. I would be better off with two 2k's i know but i cant fit them.

i would say you should be fine with the batcap upfront. i ran a 2-rd3250 off of a yellow top and a 300a alt. never had volts less than 12.8
