    mine lasted barely 6 months, so don't bitch:p haven't i been preaching anough in the audio sections that the battery is one of the most important upgrades to do when you have a system? what'd you get to replace it? hopefully a spiral cell for your system:D

              My stock battery died early this year. A big no-no: keeping your stereo w/ sub/amp on listening to tunes while your car is off.

                        When my stock battery dies I will replace it with one from Autozone. I have put one in every car that I have owned in the last 10 years and they have been very reliable. I think that they are prorated for 8 years.
