Battery Choice

I've got a 2dr Honda Coupe

Running about 3000 wats rms
1x 12" w/ spl box

i know im limited by size.. but just wondering if anyone else with similar car has tested a few batteries out and what they prefer for SPL?

This is also a daily driver car. so needs to be fully functional.

I've heard Optima Blue top, Optima Yellow Top, and Kinetik 1400w battery.

anyone have any experience with this? just looking for a few opinions that i can base my decision off of. thanks

what is special about the Odyssey or PMaster batteries?

for burping, is a deep cycle good/bad? i know you want quick bursts of power, and ive been told that deep cycle can't give that, but i've also been told it can, and that u can drain the battery much lower, and it can be charged back up nomatter how low/high the charge is at.

Odyssey & PowerMaster & Kinetik & Battcap all subscribe to our need, power on demand!
Optima have more of a market for typical uses.
