A group 34 is what optima calls for (L-10 in.; W-6 7/8 in.; H-7 13/16 in)

, as far as size wise goes a HC1800 is closer to that size (10 x6 x 8.2)

Instead of making a new thread I thought I would ask here as it is related. I am getting a 1200w rms/ 2400w peak amp installed on Friday. Right now I'm running stock battery, alt, etc. I plan to do the big 3 soon, but with this size amp, would a bigger/additional battery be necessary? If I do need to upgrade my battery I'd like to get 1 powerful one for under the hood instead of a second one. Which size would I need? Will I be okay with what I have? I'd like to save as much as possible. Oh, and it will be going in a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
