Used properly =/= car audio //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gifUsed properly = starting your car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

He is running 4kW RMS. Is that too big of an amp? Will one Red under the hood and one Red in the back power that 4kW RMS system? He has a stock alt right now, but even if he buys an HO alt, those Red tops are fine?

If you are nodding yes, then GTFO. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Ahh man all I can do is shake my head at you. You're only seeing what you want to see. I'm not recommending the RedTop to OP at all. I've already suggested Powermaster batts to him in response to PMs from him about Sundown amps a day or so ago. My point about the RedTops was just stating facts about their operation because so many people were talking like they're a shitty battery and they're not. It's just that most people use them incorrectly then blame the battery for failing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif You can quit trying to be mr right now.

according to optima unless you hook up an isolator to a red top you are not using a red top right....what is even funnier is a 3 year old flooded megatron battery held up better than a red top and the red top pretty well had the same or better specs.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
