I found a different battery that has slightly better CCA and CA ratings than the optima and costs much less....

I think I paid about $120 for it which was what the audio shop I worked in paid wholesale for Optimas.
It works great and yes the battery matters a lot when your running a bunch of accessories. I put this in my 9kt 92 and had about 1500 rms running, about 1000 of which was going to a pair of very nice pionneer subs. The car electricals held up at about 90% power after which I could tell I needed a capacitor to smooth things out. Also when the bass hit it made you dizzy and you couldn't see straight.
Regards, Chad
