I think there is place for 18 batts on the floor
2 layers will be 36 batts
that would be a good start for 4 7kw [Big Grin]
or what about the CS10KW [Wink] [Big Grin]

edge audio is using 8 kinetik batts for 1 amp
don't know if he realy "need" all the batts but I would go for a brand with more power/batt so that you only need 2-4 batts/amp

don't know exactly what the price is for 1 kinetik 16v batt and a powermaster 16v batt

believe that is due to the fact he used to run over 50 amplifiers and he has more than enough room to hold that many. in 2005 at cleveland WF then at unified finals i didnt see either pioneer truck charge, in fact i remember Scott saying in person they didnt charge between the shows either.they both set and won multiple world records and titles on batteries that didnt need charged for 2 big shows.

I cant remember exatcly but Dante said he has either 8 or 16 batts for 4 amps. More batteries didnt gain him anything.

actually it is under 4 per amp...what do you think his drop is?
I remember with the old banks and 54 amps he had the smallest drop at wf in 05 in his class that i could see..was well under 2 v and the 3 post batts are better and less expensive than the older banks.
ask scott how often he and kyle charge up.In 05 both went through DB drag finals and Unified finals without charging (not even between the shows) sweeping the legal classes they entered.

unified finals was a week or 2 after DB drag finals. He did a 180+ in both usaci and iasca and set a new WR in db drag at that show (he backed up a higher score than at what was done at db drag WF's).

Ryan from Bordermotorsports runs 8 DD Z2's of 7 16V batcaps I believe. Adding one more didn't gain him anything.

why spend so much money on so many batts and know that you don't need it (ok it is nice for 1 hour deathmatch [Big Grin] [Big Grin] )
you can only do that when you get them for free or for very low price
I would take 1/4 of that amount and charge a few times
looks much cheaper to me

how big was his system before? or do you think he gets everything all new before each contest? he has had them all i believe since he switched out from the banks...why not ask him instead of speculate? pretty sure he worries more about the cabin than the bed..2008 should be pretty intresting in that class [Smile]

32 G31 12v = 20 CS9000 = 6 D1000 All will produce about the same SPL. The advantage is, you could double the amount of 12v and your gain would be minimal... you double the amount of 16v and your gains will be great [Wink]

Who did you talk to at the Kinetik home office? I can't believe any of those guys would be rude to you. And what do you mean by "help", tech support or sponsorship?
