my thoughts exactly although redtops use the same plate formation as yellow tops... they have a lower internal resistance in order to dish out more power at one time instead of over a long period of time...ie why this battery is used mainly for starting... i tried to explain this same difference to someone on another forum but they insisted that yellow and red tops were equal

optima advertises there yellow tops as deep cycling batts, the red tops as starting batt(which is pretty much a standard batt that lasts longer), and the blue top for rv use... but if you can substitute on color for the other then whats the point of buying one over the other from a consumers standpoint

so basically there is no difference between the red top, yellow top, and blue top?

so if you can use the red top in deep cycling... why is it that optima says not to do that

had a long debate yesterday... but anyway im just going to get right to the point... Is the optima red top capable of being used as a deep cycle battery?

damn she moves fast. you said that if she leaves then you wont be able to get on SMD. is she taking the computer??? when she gets back, offer a couple last times to work this out... do not beg her. cuz then you'll be a cheater and a wimp. good luck man... pimpin aint easy

Well what i meant was she didnt have a right to take it... uh oh does she have a car? so shes mad and she took your car? be afraid be very afraid

WAIT JUST A DAMN MINUTE!!!! SHE TOOK YOUR CAR?(IS IT YOURS, IN YOUR NAME, NO ONE ELSE CAN CLAIM IT )

that wont stop her from leaving... its all about the influences around her. just do what you can AND FOR GOODNESS SAKES IF SHE HAS GIRLFRIENDS THAT DONT LIKE YOU KEEP THEM AWAY FROM HER, THEY WILL EAT YOU ALIVE lmao

just cuz you started jerking it doesnt mean your over her

THAT IS SO SHITTY

let me share this about women just incase you didnt already know... WOMEN ARE VINDICTIVE... they love revenge. even though it maybe something miniscule to you and you feel that you didnt do anything, when you told her your story all she heard was KISSED ANOTHER GIRL, GAVE OUT YOUR NUMBER, AND TALK ABOUT HER BEHIND HER BACK, you would be amazed at how those simple thing can become catastrophic. . be prepared that if she decides to stay with you, you will a a$$hole in her mind for at least 5-6 months and then after that you will have to earn her trust back(which is damn near impossible, you will need some sort of voodoo or magic ). if she stays with you, be humble but not a pushover... afterall you do still want her to respect you. surprise her with flowers and other things that you know she really likes. AND STOP FU@%ING DRINKING WITH STRANGE BITCHES, OR AT LEAST DONT GIVE THEM YOUR NUMBER

sorry to hear that man... keep your head up ill tell you why: as long as you try to make something better for yourself (ie, your girl and baby in a good family setting) then there will always be a hater trying to mess you over. and on top of that women like to talk and make rash decisions. your not gonna change her mind in the first couple of days cuz in her mind she heard it from the other woman that actually CALLED YOUR PHONE LATE AT NIGHT. give her a lil bit of time to calm down and then go for the candy and flowers routine... this is gonna take a lot of humility to accomplish(ie- calling yourself a jerk and saying that you shouldnt have done this and that) even if you dont mean it just say it. i understand that your child is involved but if nothing happened between you and the other girl and your woman cant accept that then just go ahead and move on cuz shes gonna throw this in your face for a long time

SIGH... Do i really need one? and if so where do i look to get one? EVEN BIGGER SIGH

its a cadillac.(and if it keeps fu^$@#g with me, it will be a very crushed cadillac) :mad: . but do any of you know what would cause my idle voltage to be below 14

dont know if this is good or bad... but my voltage at idle is 13.86 with nothing on... no headlights, no interior lights, no radio. any suggestions

just got fifty square ft of fatmat today and i wanna know which part of the car i should deaden first... or at least which one will yield the best results. i found another thread on here and there was another member who did his trunk with fatmat but says that his system wasnt as loud as it was before

how do i determine which one is suited for my car and which one will fit

ok... i went to autozone and they said that the alt is fine and the batt charge was a little low. so they charged the batt up until it sat at 12.6. but we tested it with a dmm with the system at full blast and sure enough the batt voltage started to drop and didnt stop until we turned the system off... so now i should be getting a HO alternator in a couple of weeks. but i still want to get a bigger batt... anyone know what type i should get? not really lookin to break the bank. this is just a daily driver, i dont do comps or anything like that. like i said before, i took a look at kinetic but it was a little to high for my taste. heard of powermaster and deka but i didnt know how to determine which one of there batteries i would need for my set up... this is for the starting battery on the car if that helps at all thanks peeps

been lookin into getting a deep cycle batt... took a look on kinetics site and they suggested the hc 1400. would i do better just replacing my starting battery or adding the deep cycle as a secondary

done 4 awg for right now

well when i got the car jump started i let it run for about ten minutes at idle. then i turned it off and cranked it back up about three or four times and everything seemed to be fine. could it be the battery

ok... before i got my system i figured that i would need a bigger alt cuz my stock alt was only puttin out 60A at idle. so i go to autozone and pick up one of there 140A alts(this is before i knew the difference between idle and max )... get the system installed and this alt still isnt enough. been dealing with that til i get a bigger alt. but i figured that the alt will put out 70A at idle so i just keep the volumn down unless im on the freeway so i can keep the engine at a high rpm... so im drivin on the freeway last night music on full blast and im doin about 75 on the freeway(drove for about 30 min) well all of a sudden my damned lights start to dim on every tiny little bass note and my subs are nowhere near as loud as they were. so i turn the radio off and drive for another 30 minutes back home. make it back home, turn the car off, but it will not start back up... now that thirty minute drive back home should have been enough to give the battery at least a little bit of a charge. WTF. so i get a jump and the car starts like normal. now is it just me or isnt an alt supposed to charge the batt when there is no other load on it. why didnt mine charge back up? the amp is a 1606d with two 15" L5s sorry so lengthy

got the funds just not the space

so i take it that running one HUGE amp like a GP3000 wouldnt be wise. im just tryin to make sure i have an alright amp for my groundpounding purposes. so right now all i should add is the deadening and the amp for the new speakers with 0 awg for the big three?
