Get the Yellow Top Optima. It's a great battery, especially if you have a large stereo.

The Yellow Top i've got has both side posts like the stock battery, and top posts. There are no problems with using the side posts for your factory engine wires, then the top posts for accesories. My part # is: D34/78-950 if that helps.
