I've got front and back after market speakers 100 watts each, a alpine subwoofer 50-500 Watts 2-ohm, 1500 Watt peak and an amplifier at 1600 Watts peak. What type of battery should i get? It's already time for me to buy a new battery. And now with a sound system in the car. What type of battery should i replace with the one under the hood. Would it make a big difference with the red tops and the yellow tops OPTIMA BATTERIES?

  1. How much RMS power is your amp providing?  The peak power doesn't mean ****.  I'll guess its around the 500-700 range and, yes, optima will be a huge upgrade, but remember, it only really matters when the car is off.  The alternator does the majority of the job.


  2. the optima batteries are better buy in my opinon not good enough for the money all you need is a big deep clycle battery something over 600amps would be nice

  3. dunlop makes the best batteries fir carsm infact a dunlop battery combined with a toyota prius can make it go over 100MPG

    IVE DONE IT, IT SAVED ME LIKE SOMEWHERE AROUND 600 DOLLARS A MONTH WHEN IT COMES TO GASALINE

  4. A yellow top Optima battery would be the best for car audio.  However, I have heard that red tops work well also.  Either way it is a huge upgrade over stock.

    Good Luck!!!
