Recommended battery for truck with audio system

[SoCalExplo]

Compare the Sears AGM DieHard Platinum P-2 to the other ones you're considering.

Price, CCA, reserve, warranty, fitment, etc. Sure you will find it a worthy contender.

4 year free replacement and being a national store, was the deal closer. Watch for sales. GL

Is the die hard deep cycle?

optima yellow top! red top wil do the trick too, but depending on how much power your system is drawing id go safe and get a yellow top. if you cant stretch out for a yellow top just make sure its a deep cycle. you might want to also think about investing in a capacitor.

Well i just got 2 15s and a brutus amp and my needle dances crazy even while driving

 

[LONO100]

if your needle is jumping you should def think about getting a capacitor.

I run Batcap. XS power is good, Kinetik, Shiruken.

I would run Batcap or XS if you can.

I have 2 18"s, here's my batts.

I really think you should step up and get some big cables

XS D6500 cost me I wanna say a lil over 300$ also got a D1200 in the back for about 80$ and a DC Power 270 amp alt so I can support 6000+ watts but I only have 4000 for now.

I'm gonna go with LONO100 on this one and say Optima yellow top as well....IF a car audio battery (XS, Kinetik, etc.) that fits your truck AND your setup is outside your budget.

IMO a good battery (Optima or better), doing the big 3 upgrade, and running the correct wire size for your setup is more than enough. Caps are just for momentary stability. If you have it wired up correctly and still getting a "dancing" volt meter (LOL), its time to look into upgrading your alternator and/or adding a second battery.
