optima D34 batytery suitable for my system?

i have an opportunity to get this battery brand new for a decent price. i have 2 1000w amps, and my current battery is a little stuffed, eg occasionally car wont start and requires a jump. i would jump on the offer straight away, though i have some other costs at the moment, so only want to get it if it is a good deal and will suit my system and not have to worry about upgrading again. the spec sheet for the battery is here:

Thanks

I have one of these under my hood and it has been really good, however i'm pushing 2500 watts total and when i max things out with all my neons on and my HIDs and everything, i still only get very little dimming in my lights. It added a great bumb for my amp and made it sustain a much louder volume for longer in my DB contests. I'll probably be getting a 2nd one once i get my new alternator.

WEll they come pre-charged so you just hook it in and go. THey are a great thing and it will make all your electronics run better, even your engine and stuff becuase it will have more powere available for your revs.

exactly....stop screwing around and get that turbo in ur damn engine

hows the fusion....and what HU have you got now...heard u sold ur old one...

seriously, not much comes close to the optima ones, you could try and upgrade all your ground wires to say 4GA, what capacity (CCA wise ) is your battery at the moment....how old is it....u might need a cap....and for that you might as well get an optima...

u might want to ask about Exide Orbitals too..they're a deep cycle battery

all the best mate

i'm set on getting the turbo in now, i put an order down for a fuel pump on friday, also i got the fusion that day, and it pumps! as for head unit i got the pioneer 8450? its the one with the face that flips down and there is another face behind.

i think my current battery is like 390CCA? it is about a year old. i'll try and find the price of those orbitals.

thanks for you help da_horse and everyone.
