wow classic amp

the current draw is gonna hurt your electrical.

I cant remember how much current they pull but they are class A/B

Ive used redtops in the past with great experiences.

everyone likes something different.

I would actually check out the Diehard Platinum also. They are identical in specs to Odyssey batteries costing more, but come with a better warranty.

i googled and found this link on the topic...

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/car-...batteries.html

i would like to get a yellow top but after reading this post im now leaning toward a red top. they are saying that eventhough the yellows are dual purpose, they arent good starting batteries and the thing is that i work out of my car and it probably gets started about 10-12 times a day everyday. read the post and see what you think. im thinking ill get a red top and if the system is too much for it, ill get a yellow top as a secondary with an isolator.

yeah, its a badass amp, itll go to 1/2 ohm if i needed, still working since the mid 90's (knock on wood). im worried about having it in my car because i had it in a 89 ranger and it burnt the alt. after that i put it in a dakota r/t with a 130amp alt and 1 farad capacitor and didnt have any trouble. i dont know how many amps our alts. are rated for but i sure as hell would hate having to replace one in that cramped area.
