2 major factors with different brands:
1) price
2) length of warranty (which usually gives indication of quality)
repco = century which is what i have.
As long as you get one with minimum CCA for your car + more (380-480cc ?) depending on how high end your sound system is. Oh and make sure it fits in your battery location and the terminals ARE ON THE correct side

Yo man i work at supercheap, the SCA batterys are pretty shitty, their CCA readings and rc ratings are pretty low.
The Century's are quite good for the money. I think for your car off the top of my head is $149 in century which has 2 year warranty.

Optima and odyssey were the main ones when i used to play with car audio. deep cycle battery is what your after for a high end system, capacitors are a waste of money. When you list your speaker specs list the output in RMS not peak output, peak are inflated numbers, RMS is more accurate.

just curious i see your monoblock is a 600w@4ohms
and the Subwoofer is a 800w.
could this be considered too different?
usually the amp should not be more than the woofer because you can blow it out. but if its too far less than the sub will not recieve sufficient power to produce good quality and will work handicapped.
or 75% enough power good enough.
in the past i always matched them although i never needed anything over 250w, so i would get a 250w for both

your actually better off over powering the speaker/sub than under powering it, all of my equipment has an amps with more output than the rms rating of the speaker.
his sub is a dual 4 ohm so it would be wired in parallel so the amp sees a 2 ohm load and outputs 1200 rms.

so you overpower and just adjust down until there is no crackling?
