seriously...
go on the kinetik web site and get no data except price, size, weight and AH (do not buy into the amplifier wattage rating as that is not a battery specification it is a recommendation)
then go on the XS power web site and find the size, weight, CCA, CA, AH of their products(go to Summit or somewhere local for pricing)

then buy the battery you want based on power or weight or price (but then no one would buy Kinetik because they dont publish their stats they just look cool)

since your checking online prices you might as well do a quick comparison to check out a Sears Die Hard or a Optima (buy the best battery for the smallest amount of money I say)

XS Power is my choice as I have used them for 2 seasons and have zero problems with the voltage in my setup. My sub amp draws a fair bit of current and with my particular charging setup my D1000's have the juice to give my amp when it needs it. Size wise they are relatively small, and not all that heavy compared to some products out there.

Now, THAT is good reasoning!
