with you running 2.5k i would recommend running 0 gauge and running an extra battery its drawing more power than your optima might handle

or check the gains on the amp it sounds like its clipping.. id swap to a red top batt.. (1000cca) same power as the yellow but it recharges faster..

add the 2nd batt (red also)but the 4awg should suffice as the major load would come from the batt in trunk..(just make sure u add a fuse b4 the batt) if not adding 2nd batt THEN goto 0awg

heres a simple test: put a volt meter at the amp terminals an measure voltage at high volumes.. if it stays over 11.5 no worries (prob clipping)
if it drops lower then u have a voltage issue.. make sure u grind away the paint around ur ground. an add a 4awg ground to the batt under the hood (to another location than factory also grinding away paint, to double metal if poss) and run a ground from the engine block to chassis.. u may also look at upgrading the wire comin from the alternator itself...(no bigger than 4awg)

most people forget the ground is the most important connection as voltage runs - to + not the other way round...
