optima red top?

i just recently bought a optima red top battery w/ 910 cold crank.

i was having problems with the stock because i have a 1000watt amp pushing my twelves and neon lights all up inside my car aswell as the underbody lights. my batt would die all the time.

my question is will the red top help my problem or should i have gone with a yellow?
the stock batt has like 410 cold crank . i was just wondering if i made a good buy.

i dont know anyone ever dissatisfied with a redtop

If you only turn on your accessories when the car is running, you shouldn't drain the battery much. Red tops are supposed to charge faster as well. Yellow is good for bumping the system when the car is off.
