Car Battery Help

[brianm8000 10+ year member]

Whats up fellas?

I need a new battery for my car (1998 Honda CR-V).

Right now I have a cheap battery, but I want a battery that will have the least amount of headlight dim when the subs hit...

I know Optima Yellowtop deep cycle would be the right choice but I'm not sure that they have them around here. (or that they fit my car). Any similar brands or good batteries that would be able to handle my system?

I live in Massachusetts and i would be looking to pick up the battery at like Sears, C.A.P. or some place like that.

I'm also looking to spend no more than 130$.

Thanks,

Brian

System specs:

2 Kicker 12" L7's

1 Kicker mono sub amp (1250w @ 1ohm)

2 Kicker component speakers (front)

2 Kicker coaxial speakers (back)

1 Kicker 4 channel amp

A battery probably won't solve the dimming problem. Look for a D34 Optima Yellowtop at Sears.

HO ALT sounds in order with that much current draw
