i have an 86 monte carlo with stock electrical, and might have to upgrade my electrical for a hifonics BRZ 2100.d. its supposed be able to put out 2100 watts rms at 1 ohm. there new line is CEA certified.

anyway, whats better to use? optima depp cycle battery or hook up another regualr battery?

dont know if this does anything, but the battery is has side post terminals.

That is a good sized amp so it will take some power. I would get the Optima yellowtop g31 with top and side post terminals. Do the big 3 upgrade for sure and you should be fine. If you are still experiencing a voltage drop that dips pretty low go ahead and put another one in the trunk but make sure to fuse both ends of the power wire that runs to the battery just to be on the safe side hope all works out bro :drinks:

Should be no issue with voltage drop with a pair of optima's. Gonna run out of power eventually though if your alt cant charge your batts.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

ive seen video on how to do the big 3, but its all been with top post terminals. but the side post terminals are pretty much the dumbest idea ever created, how would i do the big 3 with the sides?

edit to answer your question just trim some of the plastic or get a slightly longer bolt for your positive terminal then slide a protective cap over it( Electrical tap is good too)

Actually side post terminals are less likely to corrode than the top post. Case in point how many times have you seen someone cleaning side post terminals in comparison to top post terminals?

Just saying bro.

If you havent the Optima in your closet, i would have a look at XS or Stinger. Read that they have another kind of function

who is much more positiv to put out power for Systems.

To do Big Three Upgrade with side post terminals here is the easiest way possible. Get you an optima Yellowtop G31 Battery with side post and top post terminals. Hook all stock wiring to side posts, then get you top post adapters and run a 1/0 charge wire, 1/0 engine ground, and 1/0 chassis ground. If you need any help or pictures let me know :good:
