Brandon15zzz Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I would say XS I have read a lot of threads of batteries and they say XS is pretty much designed for car audio and x-treme audio applications. Where as yellow tops are more for starting,boat,and some car audio installs. hope this helps Vehicle: 1995 Impala SSHead Unit: Pioneer AVH-P4400BHMids And Highs: (still deciding)Batteries: 1 Deka Group 34 Time to make a race car.My Build Log: Solo X 12"http://www.stevemead...don15zzz-build/My Build Log: DC lvl 4 xl 15"http://www.stevemead...don15zzz-build-My Wall Build Log: 4 Lanzar 15's/ 3k+ RMShttp://www.stevemead...t-by-techforce/My Feedback:http://www.stevemead...1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 XS hands down. Treossi switched from a yellowtop to a D5100R and it made a way more noticeable difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Im looking to upgrade from my stock battery. Any advice on which battery i should go with? what kind of sound system are you pushing? both have different uses, the xs power has the best performance, but if youre really not going all out in the audio arena then sometimes its cheaper to work within your range. ive used the yellow and redtops heaps but the xs power provide the best reliability and performance. in my personal daily driven truck i have an optima yellowtop under the hood and 4 d3100s in the back. but it depends on what youre doing also. unless you have the money. then you might as well do it right the first time Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Watch the bass Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I quote Nathan from XS, only Stinger and XS-powerbatts are comparable, the rest not "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I quote Nathan from XS, only Stinger and XS-powerbatts are comparable, the rest not nathans the effing man. but on another note, other batteries dont compare but if youre pushing a small system, theres no need to go so far out especially if a budget is on the slim side. i cant fit a nice xs under my hood comfortably for me which is why i use the yellowtop under the hood and the xss in the back. i guess what im trying to say is...xs power is bad ass. optima cant compete...but its not shit either. its still a good battery Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
