I'll take a pic tomorrow.....with some how to stuff.....but seriously just go to the audio store and buy some 4gauge or if you have to over kill it like me 1/0 gauge. Then get some terminals and start putting the wires to any metal part (try to avoid parts that will heat up excessivily).

And if you want some serious power go buy an Optima battery. I have a yellow top and they make a huge difference.

i went and got the welding cable like Oz said and well... that shit rocks man.. heat resistant to best you can get. its cheap. and thick as hell and still bends like a wet noodle. i ran only 2 wires and it made a huge difference.. one to the engine and one to the body and damn... no more headlight dim

i also have a red top optima

Ive read lots of things on which battery is better for what.. but which is best for my case? i race on weekends and live where temps have been over 100degrees nearly 24hrs. Did you guys notice a different with the battery on performance and/or stereo?

go with the red top

the yellow top is mainly for accessory driven cars (strobes, winches, hydrualics, a/v systems, automated functions, etc)

the red top is for high heat, high motion... like racing in arizona.

my 2 cents

The yellow top is the same specs as the red except the yellow top has more reserve capacity and can deep cycle. They both handle the same heat conditions.

The OPTIMA RedTop

The looks alone generate plenty of buzz. But it's the patented SPIRALCELL? Technology in OPTIMA RedTop batteries that's truly worthy of praise. OPTIMA RedTop batteries are built to withstand the abuse Trucks, SUV's and 4x4's experience on and off-road. SPIRALCELL Technology immobilizes the internal components of the battery, enabling OPTIMA batteries to withstand incredible amounts of vibration.

Vehicles modified for better engine performance demand more from a battery. OPTIMA batteries withstand the high underhood temperatures associated with these Performance vehicles. The sealed cells make the battery spill-proof, even if you install it on its side! This prevents external gassing and leaking which can damage engine components and limit battery performance.

If your battery is used in vehicles that demand extra reliability and performance, or if you just take pride in getting the best performance out of your vehicle, OPTIMA RedTop batteries deliver the performance you demand.

The OPTIMA YellowTop

Demand more from your vehicle? Then get more from your battery. OPTIMA YellowTop batteries are made for the extremes. If you have an extreme vehicle, you expect high performance. Whether your vehicle is made to take the abuse of off-road driving or cranking out decibels, you need more from your battery. OPTIMA batteries with patented SPIRALCELL? Technology deliver that performance. The deep cycle characteristic of this technology coupled with its extreme resistance to vibration provides performance vehicles with the repetitive power they need in a spill-proof package.

If your vehicle has a lot of accessories like running lights, high-performance stereo/AV system, winches, or hydraulics, your vehicle demands more from its battery. OPTIMA YellowTOP batteries provide the extra performance and deep cycling capability that your vehicle demands.

THe top red top has like 800cca while the top yellow top has 750cca.

If your only looking for a starting battery red tops are great....but if you need more power for mod/accesories yellow top is a must.

Is the red top really have anything more than the yellow though? It sounds like they're the same besides the yellow cranks out more. They just word it differently. Cuz i have a stereo too

i bought some before but then noticed that the way the lanos wire is set up it wouldn't work unles i spliced into the wire. so i just bought a different set. but yeah autozone carries them.
i think they're like $5-$8 or so.

I checked autozone and i checked checkers and neither had anything close...

And is $120usd a good price for a red top?

lanos2001 · Post by **lanos2001** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 11:44 pm

well i know the autozone here has them but check you local audio place and they should have them too. they'll probably be more expensive though.
