your battery has nothing do with a stereo upgrade unless you run it when the car is off.

if the total amperage of your equipment excceds the stock rating of your alternator, then you will damage your alternator if you run stereo equipment without an upgrade.

get the stock battery and upgrade your alternator (if it needs it).

Usually, yes, but my car just happened to die when Sears was running a promo on the gold series.
