well theroretically speaking, your alternator is supposed to keep you at 14.4 volts on the battery. A high output will help you out alot if your going in with a system, and a battery is good too. I think (correct me if im wrong) optima discontinued the battery that fits in a honda, but stinger and other are always options.

what he said, except depends on how ig your system and such is going to be, lol. A high output alt. normally works for people, generaly only competion systems also need more batteries (big 3 isnt a bad idea, cheap and effective)
