Default Question for light weight battery owner's

I just purchased a battery DMS Technology battery from a friend of mine.

I dont have any HEAVY electronics in my car. I do have AC and I have an RSX spare tire subwoofer powered by an INTERNAL amp (only weighs ~8lbs).

Will my battery be able to power my vehicle?

Here are some specificaitons:

C/10 Capacity/Ah: 13 (WTF is this?!)
Dimensions: L 176mm (6.9") x W 84mm (3.3") x H 130mm (5.1")
Weight: 4.9Kg = 10.78 lbs (but I have this picture to proove its 11.0lbs )

http://www.dmstech.co.uk/varleyredtop.htm - from specs it only has 360A at 20ºC, so about 288CCA? recommended minimum is around 405CCA

That would be a nice thing to have my sub and amp take up way too much room in my little CRX. How much did it cost you? I take it you got it off someone who upgraded. How does it sound? (I currently have a Precision Power amp and a 10w6)

So would a Spoon or T1R light weight battery have enough power then (405CCA)?
Or are there any light weight batteries that meet that requirement?

Those rear seats sure have a lot more metal than I thought. Basically a metal plate with a few holes in them. I would have thought they would be more of a metal wire frame.

Does the RSX sub fit in the ITR spare?

Tom, FYI, Sub was never hooked up when you rode in it.

And for the person who says "I agree" make sure you hear the sub in a NON-DC5 chassis. Its a WORLD of difference. It hits harder than my Kenwood sub/200w Kenwood amp/bandpass box setup.

The speaker is only 4" in diameter and powered by an either 45w or 50w INTERNAL BOSE SHITBOX amp!
