Which one should i go with? i got two 12' subs. They are selling the yellow top for 140 with exchange of my oem (thats no good they said) at kragen, And the Blue top is being sold for 144 at Cosco. Think blue top is an overkill?

 

Go yellow. The blue has two extra terminals that just get in the way.

 

whats the optima web site? get blue

 

i always thought blue was for boats?

 

yea, blue is a marine battery...

red is for high performance cars...

yellow is for ricers who need to power their 48" hitachimatchiguchi TV screen

 

they look nice but wouldnt a Die-Hard Gold work the same?

 

I remember hearing that the yellow top isn't designed for automotive use, unless you run 2 batteries via an isolator. I got my RedTop for $118 CDN at Costco.

can someone verify this?

 

Ive had my redtop for about 3 years and I got it used off of a friend and when i had 2 jlw'3 12 and a punch 800 it never died and always started car first time but i had to get a bigger amp alternator haha and to this day the red top is the only thing that stays with me from car to car

 

The bluetop is supposed to be a better battery but the yellow is good also. The yelow is better than the red cause it is a deep cycle battery.

 

Get a honda oem battery

yellow top IS for automotive use and so is the red top. I use to have the yellow top in my DA. no issues either.

 

Go hardcore and get a Spoon lightweight battery. JDM yo. I have a Batterys Plus battery that has lasted me 1 1/2 years, and I've left my car on with the radio going for an hour or so several times. Still going strong.

 

Interstate said that only the yellow top factory fit 12volt version is available for 92-95 eg's... If you are tryin to power a "mega sound system" try upgrading your capacitors, alternator or add another battery in the rear...

 

Just went to kragen, they looked up my car on the comp. then went to the back and said they have two yellow tops left for my car.. i think it was a 51R.

Gay. If you're doing it for weight reasons get the same battery HT user Rodney uses (search for his thread if you care). But since none of this is relivant to the original poster oh well.

I'm using the yellow top in my EF. Hasn't given me any trouble.

A red top definately won't fit in a 92-00ex or any other 92+ civ that I've seen. Or at least it won't fit in the stock battery location, its a couple of inches too deep.

 

I'll get red but that is still too heavy, if you are concern about weight get something else!!

Yea it is heavy, waaaay heavier than my stock one. But i need something that will feed enough juice to 800 wt amp, and 2 12' subs, and start up my car. My stock one would do it, but after not starting the car for two days, battery would die out.
