^ I agree with that about the cold cranking amps that's important. Ultimately what's important is that you get something that's proportionate to your power needs. If you're running an aftermarket deck with an amp powering a pair of subs, a decent heavy duty battery is totally adequate. I've run a 12" sub on an MTX 1000 watt amp (don't remember the RMS of the subs) on a heavy duty battery with no power issues and no lights dimming. I believe the deck was 50w x4.
