I don't think it matters.  For lots of audio equipment, what is important 
is that you have a good alternator.  None of the DeLorean alternators will 
do, so you will have to adapt a high power one to the DeLorean, probably 
by having a custom bracket made.  This isn't particularly hard and most 
serious audio shops will have a pretty good idea what to do here.

The battery just has to be able to handle temporary current draw, which a 
regular battery handles just fine.  If you store the car in the winter, 
you just have to remember to disconnect the battery first.

Most people find higher than average difficulty fitting aftermarket sound 
into the DeLorean, there's just not much space.  If you mean deep-cycle 
batteries, yes, lots of people use them, but they aren't critical.
