battery Help!!!

I have an 08 ssm base model fit. I have 2 12' subs powered by 2 amps and also a full outside and inside neon kit. Does anyone know of a battery upgrade that wont require to much work to install?

neon kit draws next to nothing from the battery....would need to know how many watts the amps are(brand/model would help more)....going to a bigger battery doesnt fix the issue where the alternator cant keep the battery charged.

upgrade your grounds, get a yellow top and call it a day. although, theres a pretty good chance you dont even need to do this. and neons on a fit? eww.

There's no need for a battery upgrade, but I also have good personal experience with Optima battery. I would go with that option..

why are you guys using a deepcycle battery again? wouldnt it be better to run a Red top for maximum cca for startups? or are you planning to run the stereo while the engine is off?

Is there a battery with more CCAs that will fit/mount in the stock location? My stock battery has been fine (no mods) but i always have to wonder about cold starting sometimes, since the secuirty system stays on 24/7 and the battery is a fairly small one.

i hear the small red/yellow top batterys fit perfectly. honestly, i wouldnt worry about upgrading the battery untill you have a problem. or just wait till your battery dies, and pop a better one in. no reason to spend 180 bucks or so on something you probally dont need. the security alarm doesnt take up much power at all.

I would love to see a pic of how all those sounds look in the fit.

-Get a nice simple Optima battery & add a ferred cap to your sounds & you will be fine.
