i have a full size optima yellow top, but i need to get a smaller one.

i saw a smaller version at perfect tones a few months back, are these equally as effective.

the reason is that i am doing an engine swap and where the battery sits now will be filled with intercooler piping.

i could relocate to the rear of the car, but i have my stereo back there and custom trunk bars that would make mounting the battery there nearly impossible.

cant go behind the seats becasue i will have a custom rear x-brace there.

i have seen guys run smaller batteries and be okay, but i need a smaller battery that will still manage a nice 600 wrms system.

running 2 amps, 2 10's, comp set.

what options do i have and does anyone want to trade a full size yellowtop for a mini one?

51 series optima battery, designed specifically for honda battery locations. They are pretty small and work awesome.

i looked at the optima page, and i searched for honda civc applications of 98-00 because i know the batteries are smaller.

they didnt list anything for some reason.

scarlemthug, do you use one? can you get me approx dimensions?
