Caldina GTT battery for stereo

[magnazan]

I'm running 2 amps (Forget what output but not massive amounts) 2x 100w/rms soundstreams, 2 x 60w/rms sonys and a 12inch alpine sub. All from a Alpine head (standard 1 slot). My question though is the Caldina battery grunty enough to power all this plus all the other electronics in the car (Lights, wipers, alarm etc)?

Or are people running secondary batteries?

what is your current battery in the caldina?

for the easy upgrade, get a bosch gold - or something with around 450+ CCA or so.

anything sitting around the 300 - 350CCA mark is not ideal for audio setups unless you only use your system when you drive and not parked up.

As for dual battery systems, only necessary if you intend on wanting to play for 3-4 hours at a time when the car is off

Think the battery is around the 370cca mark and yes i only use it when driving. I'd probably just carry a spare battery if i was going to run it for a few hours.

instead of carrying a spare, just upgrade the battery to something larger that can handle the jandel.. save having to change over as well

Or get one of those portable battery jumpers? I have one, and its so bloody handy.

Agreed!

Does anyone know at what voltage cars will not start? Cause I always get worried about leaving my Skyline's music on with the engine off. My volt gauge usually sits on 12.2 for about 30 mins with the sub cranking before dropping to 12.1 and lower.
But starts at 11.5, but scared to go any lower.

NS70 is a good size battery if it will fit.

Ditto. Had one in my old GT-4, 520CCA 13 plate from memory. Never had any issues with it. I ran two amps a smaller 60Wx2 for the fronts and a 350W monoblock for the sub.
