    Put fuses between capacitor and amp?

    I have a 1 Farad Cap feeding 2 amps via a cap distribution block. The cap distribution block is attatched to the top of the cap. Do I need to put fuses after the cap? Should I put a puse just before the cap?

    Do I need fuses before my amps?

    I have the standard fuse 12" from the battery and I am looking to switch to the "puck" style distribution block that sits on top of a capacitor. Do I need to add fuses after this or anywhere before it? Thanks a lot.

    Help wiring a capacitor

    I guess they dont have it. All i see on the sides of the amp are: speaker left & right, crossover, gain, input left & right and "high level input" (no clue what that is). On the other side is the "REM" and power and ground inputs.

    Prestige APS996 Platinum or Viper 791XV

    Does the auto-start feature work with a manual transmission? Also, what are a few other brands and models that are good. I heard Clifford was good and their 2-wa remote was one of the best. Also, I dont know if it matters, but I really dont need all the features to turn stuff on from the...

    Best highs for 5x7 or 6x8???

    I am helping a friend set up a system in his explorer. He just got two 10's, and now he needs new speakers. I was considering amping the speakers so the bass doesnt drown out the highs. I was wondering what speakers will give the best overall highs for 5x7 or 6x8. Please help me out, Thanks.
