Givemebreak Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 Is this the yellow top I need for my GP? Anyone running one and how would you rate um? Thanks! Optima Yellow Top D34/78 Quote
musthavemuzk Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 i rate them verry high. i used one last year that i borrowed from a team mate. he had 3 but was not using them as he was tearing his car apart to put a sub in his dash. 99 cav was his choice of victims. anyways i was running an ac delco platinum dual terminal. which was OK. but when i slapped the yellow top in i noticed an improvement in my scores. as i competed usaci outlaw SPL and dbdrag last season. i forget the specific model though. this was in my 90 cutlass Monty Quote
no1kicker Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 Your 1/4 times dropped with the yellow top? Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 Your 1/4 times dropped with the yellow top? audio comp. probably Quote
mfewtrail Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 Your 1/4 times dropped with the yellow top? audio comp. probably Yep dbdrags =decibel drags. Quote
musthavemuzk Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 what they said. car audio competitions. the optima yellow top batt discharges faster than a typical batt so the voltage stays higher briefly longer for a better decibel score. as well as recharging much faster. Monty Quote
cutlsp Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 yeah those are good batteries a local car audio shop here sells just those batteries so they must be good batteries. Quote
kadeas Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Thats the one you need, it's good too. You may have probs. putting washer fluid res. back thou, because of the top mount terminals. Quote
90TGP Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 The nice thing about Optima's is the coil design instead of the acid regular batterys use. That means you can mount it anywhere in any position without worrying about acid leaks or fumes. Quote
john99gtp Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 holy old post batman!!!! whats so special bout em? Quote
cizin Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Yellow top = awesome deep cycle for car audio enthusiast Red top = yellow top but last a lot longer for an everyday driver For an everyday driver, the yellow top will not last very long. I have heard of people replacing them within a year or two. Quote
Kalgorn Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 does it fit in a Z34 without trouble That one wouldn't. Top terminals will not work on a Z34. Must be sides. Quote
GP1138 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 does it fit in a Z34 without trouble That one wouldn't. Top terminals will not work on a Z34. Must be sides. Actually from what I've seen they are both side and top terminals. Quote
