Are 3 Kinetik HCK3800 enough power to run a SD16kD, SD1000/4 and SD1000/2 or is it overkill? [Big Grin]

Well, I got a deal on the batteries so I'm going with 5. 1 under the hood and 4 in the trunk. Just didn't know they were so heavy.

use powermaster batts, they also carry high performance alts. Excessive amperage has good alts also.

4 XS Power D3100's and a D2700 under the hood (fits best in an F150) would do just as good, if not better than 5 of the 3800's, and would take up much less room, and add less weight to your truck [Wink]
