Just wondering about the Batcap 400 and if anyone runs them. I will soon (actually...more like next spring, haha) have the SoundStream XXX10000 hooked up and im wanting to make sure I keep the juice flowing to it and was wondering if 2 of these being backed up by 3 or 4 hc2000's and a dual-alt setup (ones stock and the others a 250 amp alt with 140ish amp idle) would be enough to not even worry about voltage drops even with huge peaks (with the car running during daily driving)?
Or would these simply be a waste and the setup minus these is enough to handle the task? Im thinking the setup minus these is plenty strong for it but im kinda wanting to overdo it just for good measure.
Thanks in advance
PS: also, any good/bad info on them and anything people say about them would be helpful aswell...peace

And what about the Batcap 800?...just looks like the hc600 and the small stinger battery...it just looks like any other small battery, is it better than the 400?...for some reason it just seems backwards, because its cheaper than the 400 for some reason aswell...?..

dont buy the 400. they are good for size and weight, but for what you get you are better off to just pick up 1-2 large batteries and one good alt. this will be more than enough to cover voltage on your 10k (when it happens) and will keep you plenty happy
