Default new battery

My stock battery is good, but i have a TV and dvd player and a 600 watt rms system in my car, and i watch tv in my car without it on. So, what i was wondering was what would be the best battery to get for it? I would also use this battery as the starter i believe.. unless i get an isolator so i can switch them back and forth which i might do. But i was looking at either a redtop or yellowtop, although i just read on here about yellowtops dying as starters.

Well i've hear of people hooking up a second car battery for stuff like that, or a boat battery even.

get the yellow, its kinda a crapy starter battery but it works. but if your sitting in your car for long periods of time with the tv and your system and what ever else you have going that is what you want. you'll damage a starter battery if you drain it down really low alot. the yellow top will think nothing of it good luck and btw there around 150-175 a little on the steep side, but if you look around you can get a good price
