Jordan92790 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've had my 18" FI BL installed for a while. RF 1500BD amp pushing it. My alt is stock, and I have a crappy battery. To my surprise they battery and alt get the job done. My headlights dem and stuff though. My question, Would buying a Optima Yellowtop for under my hood be a good start? To stop the dimming? Would it fit under my hood? I drive a "93 Mustang 2.3 lx. I've always been told to get a new battery before you get a new alt. and if a yellowtop is the thing for me where is the cheapest place to buy one? I know they run about 200 bucks. Thanks for the help in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'am a very loyal Stinger user and have been one since 1998. I highly recommend a Stinger Power2 SP1000 for your car. It is a very powerful battery with a very small size and can handle abuse very well. I also run a RF 1501BD witch is the same as the BD1500. You can get these batteries from Darvex they run about $250 but are worth every penny. That is my recommendation over the optium those things are only good if you need something fast and cheap and can't get a real deep cycle battery. I will even take stinger over kinetic in a heart beat. Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

ISO Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Do the Big 3 and use the Stinger Power2 SP1000 as your main battery in place of your stock one.
