Is optima the best?
 
Looking to get an optima battery.
Is it worth the money......do you really get THAT much of a gain,
is it the best for car stereo?
Before I go and spend 180-230 on a car battery I wanted to get peoples opinion.
So go at it.
Thanks,:D

screw optima - nothing special imo and I've owned my fair share. I just get a good, name-brand, battery now-a-days.

The only car audio specific batteriers I would consider are Odyssey.

Any other words of wisdom?

Well I dunno about the whole "skrew the optima battery" opinion. I've heard good things about them and if i'm not mistaken I believe the yellow top is the high end model.

It's their deep cycle, never heard a complaint about it. If you can get it for a good price, go for it!

i remember they were about 130 w/ core exchange about a year ago, that yellowtop. price went up like a beyotch.

optimas are good for deep cycling.

doesn't sound like you have used one? ask any optima dealer about their warranty return rate...if they will tell you the truth that is ;)
