(sorry if this is in the wrong place for this question, i figured you guys would have the most experience in changing the battery.)
Well, if you're going to go big on the audio (or whatever)... it's not the battery you should be concerned with. Unless of course, you plan on using said audio equipment while the engine is not running. In that case, then a deep cycle battery should be your first choice.

If you plan on using the new stereo while driving (perhaps), then you want to look at upgrading the alternator. A larger amperage model.

Good luck with that.
