Just wondering, how do you have the 1/0 run through your car? I'm in the process of redoing mine and wondering how other people are getting it from front to back.

Thats how mine is run, but considering running it under the car just been too lazy to get under there, lol.

With the optima up front and the dekas in the back, your voltage should be rock solid, esp with the HO alt. Sounds like a solid plan, I think it will be fine.

Some people may say you need an isolater. Although, if you're running the car pretty much daily, all the batts are going to charge anyway. I like the idea of the yellowtop up front and the 3 Dekas in the rear.
