LOL mind = blown
For the past minute I couldn't understand WTF was going on. Then I realized that someone must have voted and that bumped the thread up.
I was like "uhh I posted that a long time ago, how could it be at the top? WHERE AM I? did I just travel back in time?,etc"

+1 for the Deka ETX16L
Works great and I've never had any problems starting. I considered the PC680 too but a local member had one and had problems due to the colder weather. I'm glad I chose the Deka over the Odyssey.

you don't want to go to far out of the OEM spec for CCA since the alternator is cored to charge the battery with a specific CCA
So the Odyssey 925 will be overkill for your alternator and if you go for short drives will cause issues.

The Odyssey PC680 has lasted me more than 2 years with the only issue being that it doesn't like to sit for long periods of time un-used (I went 2 weeks without driving my car). The car is garaged in socal so I don't have to worry about cold starts. I have 800 watt amp that powers my component speakers and it runs great. The battery doesn't like to run accessories when the power is turned off for more than 5-10min, and forget teaching people to drive stick in your car (not that you want to do that...) but the battery has maybe enough juice to fix three stalls within a 10min period.
I have the PasswordJDM anodized carrier and it cleans up the engine bay nicely.

I went w/an Optima red top in the trunk. I have a yellow top that goes between my rock crawler and tractor that I've had for over 10 yrs and it still cranks the old deisel even after sitting for a couple months. I have a red top in my Toy pick up, can't go wrong w/an optima. They are heavy but I cut a lot of weight from the car (no top or motors, aftermarket full exhaust) so it's a wash really. Plus having the heavy turbo up front I figured it would even the weight out a bit puting the batt in the truck. Works out well and is relatively easy to do.
