680 should be good, Kinetik has one and Braile has one too. Kinetiks, made for sound most amps per hour.

get a kinetik battery
i got the hc800
direct drop in fit
but you will have to get tricky with the terminals and post and wires
because the post are on the wrong side
so going have to figure a way to wire the positive

look at my thread of reference

uh..the battery does not have two positive terminal.....
headlight dim..i never actually got to test that yet....i dont notice any dimming when i drive around..but i never really checked...so it might be slight dimming..but it isnt heavy dimming that i notice right away

the red thingy is the OEM terminal...it doesnt reach where the positive terminal post is
the blue wire is the power wire to my amps
there is another blue wire that you cant see in the picture, it connects the red thing to the positive terminal...do you see a little silver thing sticking out the red thing? thats is a wire ring post connected to the oem post..and from there i connect it to the positive post
