hey i just wanted to thank you guys for the support on my last post i posted. it was about what was draining my battery as it sit, but when i start it. it had the right voltage. but i found out that the battery was not holding charge. i was using a optima yellow top to run my car and a extra yellow top to hold my big system. and auto zone guy told me that, the reason my yellow top went bad is because i have a 200 amp alternator send to much amps to the yellow top that was starting my car and it was killing the cells because a yellow top cant handle all of them amps. he gave me a red top for my car and told me to keep the yellow top for my system, and its been holding charge and my music actually plays harder. :) so always use the red top for starting and yellow top for extras i learned something you guys probably know this already but it was a great learning experience. but very frustrating. so check your batteries before you check all them wires. i should say. thanks.
