I think Red top is for big amplifiers?

Red top is for main starting battery. It has a 3 year non-prorated warranty. Yellow top is for deep cycle. It has a one year non-prorated warranty. If you are replacing the main battery with an optima, I would choose the red top SC34U in most cases.

What would recommend from yellow and red for a sound system?

Yellow top...

Deep Cycle batteries are different than starting batteries because they have been specially designed for multiple complete discharges without losing reserve capacity, but Cranking batteries will lose reserve capacity quickly with repeated hard discharges. This is why Deep Cycle batteries are ideal for the high demand of aftermarket car audio amplifiers.

But you should make sure that your alternator can handle the demand placed on it from your stereo system...the battery picks up the slack when the demand is higher than the alternator can supply.

Mis-use and abuse are the only optima problems I'm aware of.
