If you have a sears store near you, their diehard agm's have a decent price, I will be putting one in my caddy in a couple of weeks.

Think I'm gonna add to this comment since they are closing stores left and right. Might find one for a decent price/discounted.

Just ask for an AGM. Optima is garbage though. They're not what they used to be. Don't get an AGM for the back if you don't have an AGM up front. Don't put a standard battery in the back though. Put an AGM under the hood and in the back.
You don't need to pay for a "car audio" branded battery. Also, lithium is wayyyyy overkill for a CAB 1600.1

why is it overkill?

Make sure you fuse power lead on rear battery if it shorts its live from trunk to front of your vehicle ..many rides have Burt due to a less than $10 mistake

what size fuse??

so i can just get the same battery under my hood for a second battery for the rear? and this would help my cab and psi on a daily right? like its not just for when my cars off but when i drive around etc?

yes, if you're dropping below 13v it will help. it will need a good ground and power connection if its in the rear. if anything run your current run to the new batt, then the amps off the new batt terminals

we will always recommend agm, especially if its inside your car, but if you want to save money get the same as you have now
