Should I run 2 group 34 batteries or 2 group 31's in the rear?

[da box king 10+ year member]

I'm running about 5500 rms total, thats if it was at full tilt. I will be using the carquest NGT batteries (same as deka intimidator). I was going to run a group 34 up front and either 2 group 31's or 3 group 34's. I would like to use the group 34's cuz they have the side and top post mounts and would be easier to use. The goup 31's have threads, so I would have to get buss bars or somethin. Which route should I go tho?

Why...and what is the easiest way to hook up wires to the group 31's if I go that route?

does that make a good enough connection...what are some other ways of mounting, and can I buy buss bars somewhere?

31's take up less space to do more power and if you wanted to upgrade you already have it on hand..need more add more of the same. think of the battery size like a fuel tank if you draw the same amount of fuel from a 5 gallon cell as you do a 10 gallon fuel cell what would run out first?

probably better off making buss bars its pretty simple if you got the stock to do it with or get it cut.
