    Ok so here's the info I got back.

    SC27FDA $193.95 + TAX
    SC51RDA $201.95 + TAX
    SC35DA $194.95 + TAX


    Also, there is a $16 core charge if no core battery is given. So, you may have to coordinate being without a battery for a day if you don't want to pay the core. Or just find one laying around. I'll need the money and core batteries the day before pickup. I can plan to pick up the batteries on a friday and distribute on Saturday. I'd also like to collect $5 per person to purchase a startbucks gift card for my guy as a show of appreciation. I've always shown some sort of appreciation to the people that hook me up and save me money. Let me know if anyone has any questions of if I missed somebody pricing.

    What would you guys recommend for the best Optima battery to replace my stock battery?

    Electrical Mods I have so far are:
    LED Bed lights (by mattgecko)
    LED Hood lights (by mattgecko)
    JL Audio SB-T-TACDC12/10TW3 Stealthbox,
    JL Audio 10TW3-D4 subwoofer in sealed enclosure,
    JL Audio C2 6x9 driver and passenger side speakers,
    JL Audio C2 6.5 rear passengers speakers,
    JL Audio XD600W/1 monoblock amp for sub with bass knob,
    JL Audio XD400W/4-channel amp for speakers

    I would keep the stock mount.

    Good morning, Kaleo!

    Thanks for the reply.

    I'm running one 10" sub with 600W monoblock amp placed on the back of the rear seats (JL Audio Stealth box).

    Plus another 400W 4-channel amp for the aftermarket speakers (two 6x9's for the front and two 6.5's for the rear passengers).

    I'm keeping the stock head unit (Entune) of my 2014 Taco for now. I may upgrade later, but so far, the sound is much better with the JL Audio speakers, amps, and sub.

    Never heard of it. Didn't think about considering one since the majority of vehicle audio shops sell the head units, speakers/subs, and amps. I would rather not spend more money on a sound processor if I don't need one. In fact, the sound of my current system is excellent. I'm very please with it. I'm just concerned about my battery being too weak to sustain the added electrical components (LED lights, amps, etc.). So, which battery should I buy when the time comes (once my stock battery dies on me)?

    I really appreciate the info and recommendation, Kaleo. Thank you for your time and patience with me.

    So, out of the ones that Brooks (@Vanguard) listed, which one would work best? (without any modification to the existing mount/bracket.)
    SC34DU $199.95 + TAX
    SC27FDA $193.95 + TAX
    SC51RDA $201.95 + TAX
    SC35DA $194.95 + TAX

    They all seem to be yellow tops, or am I seeing them wrong?

    I installed the LED bed lights and hood lights. But had the audio installed professionally.

    The guy at the audio shop said my battery is good for now. But when the time comes, he could sell me a red or yellow top Optima battery, installed for around $200-$230, depending on which one I wanted.

    What did you end up getting? Where did you go?
