Yeah, I meant to add that to my original suggestion. You still wanna get a battery, but you can save a few bucks. I got a great 800 or 1000 CCA battery from AutoZone for 80 bucks. The one that was in my car when I bought it was only 600. Not good...

dont waste the money on the red top, just buy a battery that has a good warranty/cost ratio. you may want to go the easiest route with a 1 farad(depending on the output of your amp) capacitor. it'll significantly reduce flashing/dimming. just my $.02
