    Bob, I see you caught my future X-wife out in her P-J's again! Boy will she be getting a good spanking for that when I get home!!!
    Thanks for the link Bob, that is a fine battery, I am leaning towards one. Any links on multi-amp multi-media car audio installation? I am getting close to starting mine, a couple of weeks. I still need to pic up the dvd player.

    I have taken alot of shots of cars and that sounds like something I am going to try. There are alot of time with a digital that there are darkspots.

    Geez Tony, I love it when you talk dirty!!!

    As for the stereo stuff, if nobody else pipes up, send a PM to dangeroustoy http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/member.php?u=362 He's really into that stuff.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I'm coming in late on this but Don is right I have one of those in my truck. My motor is 412 cu. in. with 9 1/2 compression and it has not been a problem. I agree with you Bob if you have the extra room I would go with the larger series but if you don't the little guy works great. They just recommend keeping the primary lead as short as possible. My 2 cents

    I think you mentioned something like having the cables as close to 3 feet as possible one time Ken. I tried to get mine that short but ended up at about 4.5 feet. I did use @ gauge cable and ran the ground right to the starter bolt too.

    Another nice thing is that they project a 3-10 year service life for these. In Florida (and probably other hot places like California) we are happy if a car or boat battery lasts 3 years. Some die as fast as 2 years.
