I have 2 great hobbys, Porsche 914 and Car Stereo Sound.

I might not be faster than you guys, but I will have a very unique 914. I pulled all the stereo stuff out of my car, and I am starting all over. I just recieved my Kinetik batteries today.

I got a HC1800 to replace my optima, the 1800 is rated at 1900 Amps. I also purchased a HC800 rated at 950 amps. I just found a upgrade 75amp alternator and a guy who will wind it to 120amp output to drop in place of the 55amp unit. I am going to be High Voltage!

The totall draw on my stereo install will be about 120 amps at peak. I am keeping my amplifiers but building a different cabinet for the rear trunk. It will house both amps and the 800 power cell. I am ditching both capacitors that were in the trunk. The wiring will be upgraded from the alternator (Jeff Bowlsby) and I will run "0" guage from the batterys to hook togeather + to + and - to -. I will also add a few more heavy grounds from each battery to chasis and from chasis to engine. Yes there will be multiple inline fuses on the positive leads. (saftey first)

I will update this thread with pics and progress as i go.
