dont buy these off ebay. i bought my redtop from pepboys and if anything happens to the battery in the next 3 years, i just bring it to any store and get a free replacement. not something thats really possible to do with an online store, and god knows how much shipping cost on a heavy battery.
on a realated note, anyone know why the terminals on optimas are reversed? i bought a redtop for my moms matrix but couldnt use it because the cables wouldnt reach. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I have a red top, which was more expensive than the yellow, and it only cost me $130 at PepBoys.

the red top costs more because it has more cold cranking amps then the yellow top.

some places wont cover warranty if you use a yellowtop under the hood... id personally run a redtop under the hood and a yellow top for the system... either way Optima batteries are the way to go for car audio i personally think... Stinger has some alright ones im told, i havent used one though.

There are a number of new batteries out there jus for high powered systems. Some of them are very expensive. I don't know if they have any advantage over the optimas. I would think they do, since optima as the standard they all aim for.
