I'm no expert, but it would probably be ok if wired up correctly. I just know I have heard that if you are going to run dual batteries it is best to have 2 of the same batteries. However, if one battery is wired solely for running stereo equipment I think that it would be ok to have a normal starting batter and a deep cycle for the stereo stuff. I would look into getting a good battery isolator. Check out the info on www.the12volt.com Those guys are full of great info on 12 volt wiring, stereos, alarms and and stuff.

 

6500k HIDs are the brightest but I think the 10000k looks better, I got them on my high and low beams, oh and get the yellow top cause its just better... more but better

 

4300k is the best light (closest to natural sunlight) The only reason Im going with the 5000k is the brand im getting dont come in 4300k.

 

beat me to it.

a yellow top is a deep cycle battery it is meant to be drained and charged again without shortening the life of it . it will hold its charge shorter after time btu thats somethign like 250 charge cycles. i red top is more of a stock battery replacemtn . imo ive been happy with the yellow tops i have in all my cars. i had one sit for almost 3 months and still cranked up my car. but if your worried about voltage and spikes with electronics. you neew to do more upgrading than just a battery. you need a better alternator. and imo the big 3( ground cable, poisitive cable and alternator cable.

 

get the best of both deep cycle and cranking cant go wrong there you'll have the best of both worlds.

 

that's a yellow top by the way

 

OPTIMA RedTop Benefits

* Lasts up to 2 times longer than other batteries.
* More power in the initial 1, 3, 5, and 10 seconds of the starting process than comparably rated conventional lead acid batteries.
* Constant performance quality keeping your battery running at the same level even as it's being discharged.
* Ideal for seasonal use, fully charged, it can sit unused for up to 12 months at room temperature (or below) and still start a car.
* 15 times more resistant to vibration than other batteries.
* Nonspillable and can mount in almost any position.


Remember:
A dark gray case means starting technology, a light gray case means dual purpose (engine start and deep cycle) technology. (that means there are two types of yellow tops I've had both)cant go wrong with the dual.

Yesterday I replaced the red top with a yellow top. The red top was only 18 months old, but if not driven for 9 or 10 hours it would not start . so they pro-rated it and I got the yellow top for $88.00. apparantly they can not do a charge/Load test on optima batteries becase they are meant to be slow charged. No questions asked. I think all the kids that worked there (Advance) wanted it for themselves.

 

red tops do suck, i would go with a yellow and not look back

 

Red top here, no problems yet, knock on wood.
