even though u know which way i want u to go with, lol. i WILL say if those prices are legit on 2 and 3. then get them, will take up more room but u cant beat that price for 2 batteries. they will take ALOT of room though.

or you could just buy 2 of my batteries

lol thanks basscort, still considering one of yours, but of 2 and 3 what seems to be the better batt? the dekas put out slightly less ah but seem to be in better condition... and i could fit four g31s lol its in a tahoe //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You can't take the Ah spec too seriously. The Ah spec is determined from a very small load. Theres no way to interperet that to the high loads of car audio. What I'm saying that two batts can have the same exact Ah, but one may perform better than the other depending on build quality/etc.

I would go with the Dekas, they are the most reputable brand of the 3.

But I wouldn't dare by a used batt without getting it load tested first. Even then its hard to say how long they will last.

Not to bring down basscort, but youre comparing almost 200ah to 135 ah. I say go with 2 of what I have. NSB90
