Car is an 02 Honda Civic, and will go 3-500 bucks. Maybe don't need 150 at idle, but need 150 around 2500 rpms. Needs to power 3 jl hd amps. Have an optima already

Check out DC Power or Mechman their build quality is top notch and give out great output at idle

Thought optimas were supposed to be good. Kinetic? Optima has some years left, so won't ditch it yet............

I agree with my lows get rid of the optima. I have had 2 yellow tops leak from the positive terminals. Installed an XS Power battery and it was night and day. It also seems that I gained cranking power to the engine.

All I know is it wont supply 3 amps continuous. It will if I keep volume moderate, but when I lean on volume hard, I need the rpms high, or amp, or 2 will cut out

Also, once I get the alt straight, then I can worry about the second, or different battery
