With all your audio equipment, I would say a small Optima - which is the same thing I'm going to have to do down the road. My car has been starting slow since the temperatures dropped below freezing.

While Optimas are a good battery, the price is ridiculous (~$170). I recommend the Sears Die Hard Silver, which are warrantied for 2 years. The silver received a better rating than the gold series. With my Subaru, I replaced the battery 7 times last year for no cost. Optimas don't have a similar warranty (although they are carried by Sears). Optimas are pretty good for cold weather because they are deep cycle, but the prices aren't just don't make sense especially since you don't have that much power running in the S.. (1,000 or 2,000 watts? maybe)
