If I just got the optima yellow top would I be fine?

Yeah I read the thread, since I don't have any crimping tools. Would it be best to go to a shop and ask them about upgrading the BIG 3 wires? I really don't think this is a DIY for me...

Yeah, if you don't have a crimper, DIY would be contraindicated.

I don't think I will make a recommendation... I think you will decide what to do.

I can make one for you Mark, but I only have 4 gauge wire. You might want 2 gauge or larger.

Yeah the power gauge I have right now is a 4 gauge, I've heard that a 4 gauge would be enough power. Sigh. Will any car place have 2gauge or higher?

Any car stereo shop should have larger gauge wire.
