I have a 180A HO alternator on the way from nate at excessiveamperage.com but in the meantime i need to upgrade my starter battery.

My choices are narrowed down to the following:

Optima RedTop Group #35 / $130 at sears

Everstart Maxx / $65 at walmart

Interstate MegaTron / $80

Sears DieHard / $70

well looks like you might as well go all out and get a red top.

anyother one of those batts will work really. If you are listing to your system with the car on then it doesn't really matter what batt you use. But with it off the red top is that way to go.

providing my local sears carries the right size group 35 redtop for my car. Advance Auto Parts didnt have #35 in stock. Sears might have 1 in stock.

I love my red top. I run a red top in my car and it has been great for me. Not that it applies if the car is running but I have messed with my system tweaking gains and EQ or cleaning it out for at least a half hour prolly closer to an hour and the battery never flinched when I started it up. Thats running 2400K too.
