Don't get the other yellow top the side mounts are too far apart to be safe in your car

I did 2 layers in the hole trunk and the also back deck panel(6x9 area) . 1 layer in the hole cabin floor to celing in the door and the door panel it took me and 2 Friends 13 hrs / over 2 days to do it and put everything back
I did put the carpet back in because it matched the box covering I had at that time ( old box)
You could do that it would be interesting to see on a TL if that would help or not with your Spl because in theory carpet will suck up db

 

I'm curious too and I agree with you, the Optimas aren't the best but they aren't the worst either. I just want to see how it's been proven.

The only error you really made was either a.) not checking for proper clearance once you put it in and/or b.) not protecting the top terminals properly to prevent the arcing.

Bet you won't make that mistake again

 

well, it was a plastic cap i bought at napa that covered the entire top of the battery terminals. The battery was said (by advanced auto) to fit in the car and did so perfectly. Where i made the mistake i feel was the plastic battery retaining strap that was factory installed in those cars. I should have replaced it with a billet one or something a bit beefier. That strap snapped and the battery grounded out on the hood on a curve. I used to race around this area like an idiot so it was only a matter of time i guess..

 

What do you run in yours ? I know we each have our own favorite brands of equipment to use

up front or in the back. That battery is massive. How did you make it fit up front if its up front.
