ok here is the scenario:

im running 2 BLs off of 2 1000.1 kickers and am gettin some dimmage(only when i turn it up), everything is stock

question(s):

whats the difference between a red top and yellow top(which is better reccommended if at all)? or do i need to get an xtra battery and/or cap?

should i go ahead and attempt the "big 3 upgrade" to see if it helps any?

thx in advance, and sorry, im noob when it comes to this stuff

07 tahoe, i might decide to try to do the big 3 upgrade this weekend if i get time(school n work ftl )

so wat about the red top vs yellow top?

yellow top is dual purpose, starting and deep cycle duties, and would be the better of the 2

If my choice was limited to just a yellow top, or a red top, I would have to pick the yellow. They were designed solely for purposes like car audio, and racing where they don't run an alternator. It's meant to handle heavy discharges.
