good luck mate. You will be looking at least that for a battery for the magnas.

For that price,it would bloody want to be!,you have a huge sound system that requires this type of battery,just curious

For heavy duty lead acid passenger car stuff,i think the best you can get is the supercharge Gold MF50,around 600CCA at -18degrees celscius,so still a very good battery even if it will ever only get to 550 odd CCA,and its maintainance free to boot,and its listed for most gen 3 magnas i reckon as a H/D replacement

100% percent agree these are the best battery for audio installs and any high load systems I have bought 2 1 for my magna and now 1 for my 380!

If you have dim problems etc you should look into a cap at least 1 farad depending on your amp load! then you will really feel the kick!

I would suggest anyone buying a new battery to go the Optima. Not only are they more powerfull, they also last a hell of a longtime powering your system when the car is off. Once had the stero going for 5hours, at decent volume, and the car still started no issues.

Also keep in mind that Optima Yellow tops are rechargable from flat, most car batteries can not be recharged once they have gone flat.

For an extra $200, I see the Optima as insurance for always having a battery that is charged

Absolutely 100% in agreement!
