Definitely looking like a fun project. I love MTX stuff. My 1872812369'th setup was with 6 MTX thunder 5500 12's and started out with one 1501d, but toasted it. Then stepped into three 801d's. That was a long time ago though. I wanted to chime in to say don't get a yellow top. Buy a kinetik battery. I currently have two for sale for 275 negotiable each. Battery Capacitors from Kinitik come second to none. You won't find a better battery. Hell you could run the whole car off of one 2400, which is what I have. Had three total. Paid about 400 each.
