Will the big 3 fix this?

[chris96camaro 10+ year member]

I just installed my viper 1200.1 in my 2002 civic, and the rpm's are dropping when the bass hits(only at idle), and the car struggles to start after I have had the system on.

The battery in the car is only like 440 CCA, and the battery itself is tiny.

Would doing the big 3 fix this problem, or do I need to upgrade to a better battery?

the big 3 in 1/0 might fix it, but upgrading to another battery would never hurt and would even help.

How do the optima batteries work?

Do they make them as replacements for OEM batteries, or do they only make certain sizes?

yeah i would do the big 3 and swap out for a better battery and most of your problems should be taken care of

And by the way the viper is wired to 2 ohms, only 800 rms...
