no you just a 1 deep cycle battery if you listen to music when the car is off for long periods of time if not then you are fine with a red top, im not into sound systems i just like a little base with my music.

Or just keep the battery you have and add a cap. I'm using a .47 F capacitor. Put it as close to the amp as you safely can. In effect, it lowers the impedance of the battery cable, in other words, when the amp draws a sudden discharge from the battery (loud sound) the cap. feeds the power and the voltage doesn't drop as much as it would if you didn't have the cap.
A cap will not help if your battery can't supply the power you're drawing, but unless you're into "loud car" contests, I doubt that will happen.
