i got a red. ended up getting it for 99.99 new. booya!

found out what might have caused the problem. My 2ga alternator wire... apparently... was resting against my exhaust shield. after i connected my new battery, i kept seeing little flashes. i pulled the wire out... low and behold... there was a melted section of the wire. i patched it up (water tight for now, till i get a replacement) and rerouted the wire. New batt is in, not started yet. gotta reconnect my amp fuses and see how things go.

The car will run with the terminals disconnected, BUT you do have the potential for a voltage spike. AND if there's some large instant draw at low RPM (like a cooling fan coming on) it usually can't make up for it by the time it's too late and the engine will die.
