What type of battery?

Question

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?

Answer 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.

Answer 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

Answer 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

Answer 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!!!
