ICE is for rappers IHMO. I replaced stock speakers and got an MP3 player for the sole reason that I listen to LONG techno mixes and I needed to play MP3s;) So jsut any ol small battery will do?

both my friend and I have the SVO batterie that heavythrottle sells, they work very well and fit perfect, plenty of power, they are around like 119 or so shipped if i can remember and shiping was fast, i would highly recomend the SVO batterie to anyone who wants to keep their batterie up front

well, I have only 2 speakers, and a Pionerr HU, so ICE is not for me. LOL. I don't know you though, so just pointing out a potential problem. I am actually thinking about putting a garden tractor battery in my trunk anyway, save alittle space and weight.

I'm using an SVR battery I picked up at Tweeter (oh how I despise that store). Nice battery, ridiculously powerful for its miniscule size.

I bought a lawn tractor battery from home depot for about 30 bucks. 350 cold cranking amps. Never once gave me any trouble in the winter time. And Ohio has some crappy winters

Thanks for all the ideas guys! I quit my job (over b.s sexual harassment allegations....LONG story) so it looks like the CA is pushed back yet another few weeks...I really need to learn to start saving;)
