You can get some great prices for the Optima's on Ebay. Unless you plan to run your system a bunch with the engine off, the red will be fine, the yellow is a deep cycle. Not sure about the battery tie down, I'm building a custom enclosure for the battery.

Blue is real cool if you want something a little different, it's the same thing as the yellow top but with marine connection posts.

I just bought a red one because I think I'm going to go with a red color scheme. At least in the engine bay. Anyway, I use www.google.com to search for anything and everything. I get the best prices that way. JUst type in some keywords and you're off!

An Optima Yellow or blue for that matter won't fit in the stock spot without some modification..(Correct me if I'm wrong here) but in my sedan a yellow top wouldn't have a snowballs chance in he!! of fitting without making a new plate and tie down.. Optima makes red-tops in 3 sizes.. One of them fits... I use an SVR-50 it's made for Honda sized mounts and such..

Cheers
Mohawk
