Ok wassup peeps. Im upgrading the stereo and I have just about everything I need. I have purchased 2 kicker L7 12's, a Rockford fosgate power 1500bd,
2 gauge amp kit,200 a circuit breaker, custom 6th gen sub box, and a nissan/bose adapter, 3 farad cap, and 50 ft of dynamat. Only thing I need is a yellow top. I hope this system will kick much ***. I wanted to know if anyone was using a yellow top battery and if so, which model??

 

yellow top its yellow top, they also have blue top and red top (if you are talking about optima batteries). i would go with the blue top, it has more cca than the yellow top. (yellow top is designed for deep cycle use,... ex. boats)

 

hmmm... never heard of a blue top. I'll have to check on this.

 

if its going to be used as a main battery go with the red. That is more for starting the car. If your going to run it low or play the vehicles stereo with it off, then go with the the yellow.

 

Yeah, Ive had the yellow on my last 2 third gens but I sold it with the car. The blue top is cool too though. Still 750 cca.

 

Got it a little backwards there. Blue top is for marine use.

Also there are variations of the yellow top.

 

for the original poster...ya spent to much. Return the cap and the "adaptor".

 

I cant return them, I need them. I just found out 3rd and 6th gens use the same size battery. D34 .

 

No, you don't need them.

 

I dont know, this fosgate amp is power hungry. Im pretty sure I'll need the yellow top and cap. Also the harness/adapter will be needed to keep the signal as clean as possible.

 

caps dont really do anything. all show and no go. return it and get your money back.

 

Well they have proven otherwise to me but to each their own. I wonder if you guys know that there is a seller on Ebay who makes sub boxes to fit out 6th gen trunks exactly. Leaving no gaps and it slides ALL the way back to the seats and leaves plenty of trunk space. The seller has square or round cut holes. I have one in my trunk right now and I love the way it looks. Here's a link- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-06...spagenameZWDVW

 

Try upgrading your wiring first before saying that the cap is what is solving the problem.

As far as those adapters are concerned to "keep your signal clean", also a gimmick. You are perfectly able to tap the signal coming out of your OEM HU without the use of those adapters, which, in theory, when adding extra components, keep the signal LESS clean/uninterrupted.

 

Get a more efficient amp that actually puts out the power it claims to?

 

Upgrade which wires? Do you mean a Hyperground kit? And what amp? Fosgates claim 75% or better efficiency which is good enough for me.

 

My 17+ years of experience and the fact that Ive done well over 100 Maximas, tells me different, but I guess your the pro.

 

RF 75% efficent?? ummm sorry... BS if they were so efficent they wouldnt be so power hungry.

 

Hyperground? What the hell is a hyper ground? You're even buying into the market terminology.

You can upgrade your big 3 with quality 0awg power wire to start off.

 

75% at what ohm load

 

75% @ 2 ohms is the claim, and I didnt say I proved it...I said it is good enough for me. Yes, that is what a hyper ground is. Dont you call your car a maxima?? The name is the name, what can I say. Whats in the Jersey waters man?! flame on

 

WHAT is what a hyper ground is?

 

just a basic grounding kit where you redo the stock wiring under the hood. this is different from the big 3 and people claim smoother shifts from doing this. i have no interest in doing it.

 

LOL I know what they are, he just never defined it hehe.

I've done a before/after with my friend's car that we put Blehm's kit on.

There was a slight noticeable difference, it was pretty nice. If I have some extra wiring sitting around and I'm bored one day maybe I'll do it, just for something to do.

 

do you think it is worth doing?

 

Meh...gains are minimal. Same you get from the 2 grounding points on the big 3

 

Yea, that'd be me (i think heh). It was not slight enough for $50, but if you have some extra wiring like Nilesh said...it's something to do.

 

Yea, it's you.

One of those "bored" projects for sure.

Why spend $50 when the wire and terminals are no more than $7-$8

 

You would be wise to pay close attention to what these guys are trying to tell you. Not flaming you, just honest responses from some guys with a good amount of knowledge on the subject.

 

All I wanted to know was if anyone was using the optima yellow top. Simple. Fukk it...have fun with this thread

 

No I am using a Red Top. The yellow top is recommended as a scondary battery, the red is recommended as a starting deep cycle battery.
By the sounds of your RF amp you might need an isolator and second battery. They draw alot of juice.

 

I doubt he needs a second battery.

Your system/car will function better if you upgrade your battery, yes.

But, get a red top, not a yellow.

/thread.

 

I wasn't sure if he was asking for the Yellow top as a secondary batt that's why I was explaining what the different Optima's were.

 

True, good point. Either way he doesn't need one
