Here's what my mini battery powers
DVD flip-up screen head unit
6 interior JL speakers
JL amp and 10 JL W6 sub
Greddy turbo timer and Profec-B EBC
Defi gauges
All the rest of the normal stuff

I've never had my lights dim when the sub hits and it starts like a champ every time.

I totally forgot about the tube. Thanks for reminding me.

I have a DVD In Dash, amplified sub, 5.1 surround with amplified center speaker, radar detector hardwired in, and the battery runs fine. Sometimes I forget to turn off the detector and it still starts.

Yeah I'm in the cold Northeast, and the Evo is not my daily driver in the winter, and it sits for a while without issue. I have a decent stereo, too. JL 500W amp and 10w7 sub, and with a RF capacitor, I get little to no dimming when the bass pounds. Plus, with my AFC, I can watch voltage, and it never really drops below 13.5. Mini batteries are the way to go for a nice UIC pipe. BTW, nice pics, bro. Love the custom work.

you also should get some silicone radiator hoses as well. nice dress up & will never explode on you. BTW, the grounding kits are a gimmick.

remember that your lights arent going to DIM because the evo's have H.I.D.'s ... regualr halogens WILL dim .... unless ofcourse you have enough AMPrage on your battery
