Re: optima yellow is hell heavy!

Those were supplied by Cartoys.
It is what they use I think when they do big amp installations.

Probably Phoenix Gold.
It does make for a nice install.

LOL - I looked at that picture before I ever looked at who posted it and I thought to myself - boy that installation looks really familiar I hadn't seen it after you took it to Car Toys.
