Unless you're going for extreme performance, like trying to get to World Finals DbDrags, any of the high-technology batteries Wagonized listed are great for car audio.

You won't notice much or any difference from one to the next, again, unless you're trying for that last tenth of a Db.

So, I recommend any of them. Basically, if it's anything but old-school liquid batteries, it'll do your car good. Optimas are great in that they're a really good battery for stereo performance, plus the bonus of lasting two, three, sometime four times longer than normal car batteries.

I've sold and dealt with several of the above brands. FYI - Hawker makes Stinger batteries (among others like Odessey)...so they are one in the same.

I was dealing with them when they were still making Black Panther - a full dry cell. There's a reason I don't deal with them anymore They had a tendency to fail - if installed in a 4 banger, they seemed ok. But put behind a V8, especially something with some mods, the summer heat and cranking a big engine seemed to do them in

I've been an Interstate dealer for several years now, and can say unequivically that the Yellowtop is your best choice bar-none. I don't think I've /ever/ (ever!) warrantied a yellowtop - the 34/78 cranks my 10:1 355 Camaro in the summer heat NO problem and we all know about their famous car audio prowess....

Just IMHO, based on several years of dealer experience with BOTH of them, the Yellowtop is by far the better product.
