So, I am currently running 2 12" L7's a 3000W amp and a Control audio Epicenter. What optima battery would you all recommend? This is for a daily driver 2010 Camaro V6 and 65-70% of the time I have my music bumping hard. Last night I had some issues with my car so I believe it's time for a new battery.

I would suggest a new stock battery, and then a group 31 battery on top of what you already have. Deka G31's are what I used when I had an 18" RE XXX in my trailblazer on 3kw

I would try to avoid Optima. The newer ones (2007+) have a pretty high failure rate.

Odyssey batteries are far better than Optima. I had an optima fail catastrophically and it cost me my whole vehicle. Thank goodness for insurance.
