Default stock battery finally died....

ok topic says it all. so time to upgrade hrmm this thought too. on AC Delco...what is the best thing to go with now? I'm in the central/southern part of alabama so we have EXTREME summers. Is the Optima battery all it's cracked up to be? I need something that'll last and withstand the aftermarket stereo and all i have. Well let me know what input u all have....I'm still awaiting my Torque arm so i might as well do the battery too..lmao thanks people.

Yellow Optima if you run the system without the engine running. For pure cranking power all the time, get the red top. Either will be more than adequate.

i was just debating between the yellow top and red top...i dont think that i have nearly enough stereo for the yellow myself...i think that straight up the Red is a more powerful battery.....although the yellow will hold a charge longer i dont really run the stereo without the car running. the local stereo place told me yellow top. but im just kinda confused about the whole ordeal..lmao seems more people have the red than the yellow...but it is more or less for just the cranking of the car...cause the stereo is a low wattage stereo and doesnt really pull much of the power from the car. u guys think i would be better off with a red?
