I have a 1993 Ford Taurus and need a high performance battery.  I will be running a kenwood 728s and a kenwood kac-x401m.  Any suggestions would be helpful, also maybe an alternator if anyone knows which one would fit my car.

thanks,

I have always had good luck with the Optima Yellow top batteries
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't fix your brakes, so I made your horn louder"

I have a yellow Optima Top and i High Output alternator,(200 amp) But Probably would be a better option to him if he get first a High Ouput Alternator and then a Yellow Top/..

Your Stock Alternator is 130amp, You should do fine, just buy a Yellow Optima top. YOu should do more than fine with the Yellow Top.
Hope this helps/

Does it matter that the yellow top has the same cranking and cold cranking amps as my current battery??

OPTIMA BATTERY YELLOW TOP the ability to be deeply discharged and recharged without giving up the famous Optima Battery high starting ability
THE YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERY provides high power output resulting in greater cranking ability at high current loads
