Little update. Amp is mounted. My battery didn't come today as it was supposed to, I really hope usps didn't lose the damn thing lol. Mounting the amp went a decent but the wire isn't flexible enough for my liking, I couldn't get as tight of a bend out of the amp as I wanted. Consequently I probably won't be able to do much else with the wiring.

Small update. This batt is actually not bad. Group 22nf so it is narrow enough to fit my needs, 55ah and best of all it was only 60 bucks shipped off ebay! 1 year old datecode, used in a power backup system and then sold off cheaply. It might not do enough to totally supplement the eventual d1200 under the hood but it should do enough until I can afford a d2700 or d3100.

The install isn't the cleanest, it is hard to make everything clean with the room I have and this type of terminal. I geuss the best thing you can say about a battery install is that nothing blew up so that is good. Now all that is left is the box :)

Thanks! Solid is an older brand, they haven't been around for awhile now. They use zenon boards just like a lot of other companies out there. This particular amp uses the same board that the 2nd generation American Bass xd3k had in it.

I use to be able to get those type of batteries cheaper too (not necessarily that brand but the whole data center backup battery) from a buddy who used to work at a data center. Decent batts. Didn't quite have the discharged rate I would have liked but were cheap, solid batts.

Yea for the price I cannot really complain. Like I said, it should do enough until the xs group buy comes around. D1200 under the hood, d2700/3100 in the hatch ftw. I never though I'd drop 460 on batts though. I guess that is what it takes to get loud and do it right
