optima yellow top battery question

hey all,
I recently did some audio work and just found out my battery is dead.
It's running two amps, 600 watts and 700 watts.
I was thinking of getting a cap but it seems like optima yellow would do better.
I was searching online and there are many choices for optima yellow.. im assuming its the size of the battery?..
Anybody know which optima yellow I should get, and which one fits 06 mr?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

I wonder if it fits better than the red. I had to modify mine a bit to get it to fit perfect.

Had a yellow top (Deep cycle) in my DD (Non EVO). I was running a high pwr amplifier & was sold on the yellow tops deep cycle qualities.

Thing lasted but a mere 4 years. Will never buy another

You'll still need to run a cap for the amp that powers your subs. Large power draws will make your lights dim, and wreak havoc on your battery and alternator, no matter what type of battery you get. Get a cap and do it right the first time.
