Canadian Tire Batteries are AWSOME if you are looking for one for your lawn tractor!

Go with the Kinetic or Odessey PC925 or PC 1200

The PC925 is $200.00
$150 for the Kinetic is a good price.

I use the HC800 only! in my race truck that has full trim a wall in the back and full system.
If you go with the 800 add it close to your amps and save for another to replace your starting battery in a bit.I take real real good care of mine as it is a bit small for the app and without the care it would have not lasted this long as racing and systems are not easy on any battery by anymeans

that HC800 would not even be close to what you need.
I'd say at the very minimum go with an HC1800-2000, if not bigger.
If you're going to get a battery do it once and do it right.

But at the same time your budget may not allow for it and if thats the case go with another brand (Motomaster or something else) instead of getting a much smaller Kinetik. Definately not going to be worth your money getting the little HC800

i can get the 1800 for like 300 but then again i guess u get what would u pay for... i can get the 1400 for like... maybe 230 wouldnt the 1400 be able to handle a hifonics 2000 rms amp and plus my car

another thing in the winter would this battery give me a hard start?
cause that motomaster one has 875 cca i was also thinking getting that motomaster one and then getting maybe the hc800 for my amp or would that still be to small and would my alternator be able to charage it it currently charages at like 13.8
