You'll pay 120 bucks for a monster audio cap from best buy, DON'T DO IT!! A cap is just an external power storage device, brand names don't make it any difrent.
A cap is not a cap. Caps range from sucking tremendously to having a miniscule amount of usefulness. When buying caps, look for the lowest ESL and ESR you can find, or better yet, spend your money on something more useful like a battery (if yours is bad) or potentially an alternator (go to Autozone and have it tested).
I do agree that you should avoid Monster products in any scenario unless you have an exceptionally thick wallet and like to lighten it on a product with no foreseeable advantage.
To the original poster, you are posting on a public forum and you better expect to get wildly different recommendations/criticisms of your plan. When someone says "BEST BUY SUCKS", ignore them, telling them to essentially "f off" makes everyone hate you even if your reasoning was semi-justifiable.

Well, I guess I'll agree with ya. My experience with caps has been great, I've probably had 5 or 6 rangin in ALL diffrent brands, from a crappy no name ebay special to an expensive Lightning Audio LSD10-03 that I currently have.
I guess I've never been running enough watts to tell a diffrnece, though... I'll step down.

 I just rearead the thread, I was thinking at that time he would be installing a seperate in the trunk, which in that case he'd want a yellow...but you are right, he shoudl be getting a red top if he's repalcing his factory battery. I just wish they fit better.

"fits" is a relative term. 
if you mount it on it's side, and take out the battery box, it fits fine.

No that really isn't the reason. I have no intention of purchasing stolen goods.
