Default Which battery is the best for a sound system...Yellow or Red Optima

Hey wussup everyone....This might be a stupid question but i keep on getting different answers.

I was wondering which optima battery is better for a car that has a sound system. I mean the whole hookup...subs, new speakers, tweeters, amps , you get the picture, but yea...I hear that the yellow one is good but i also see ppl using the red one....which confuses me because i want to purchase a good battery for the car so my sound system can sound strong and flow good witout any hesitant of lost power. please give me your opinion and if possible the reason.
Thanks a head of time everyone

Unless you're gonna run something crazy, the stock setup should be fine. Optima's are just deep cycle batteries. So unless you are gonna run your system until the battery is dead, shouldn't be a problem

I have a yellow top for the moment but that sucker is heavy. But obviously if your putting in audio equiptment then your not too concerned about weight.

My friend is using a stinger dry cell battery. it works pretty good, especially sense you can tell them your setup and car and they will recomend the best battery for you.

really tho, as long as you have a capacitor you are ok with any battery.
