Have you clamped the alt? And yes the Blue top is NOT a good audio battery.

got the one with the same specs as the Yellowtop

got it clamped... did fine @200A

im kinda F-ed with the under hood batt because my terminals are opposite of 99% of cars out there, which is why I went with the double top post bluetop
