[QUOTE="pavengmike6, post: 388809, member: 553009"] To answer the problem with the popping noise you hear when you start your car, check to see if your remote turn on is hooked up to the right place. With this some people hook it up to the constant power wire that keeps the memory in the radio. If you hooked it up there then you are gettting a power surge through that wire. The shutting down problem comes from MANY different reasons. One may be heat, Grounding problems, and many more. Is the one that is shutting down the one pushing your subs, and if so the ohm level may be to low for the amp. If it is your mids and highs I would think a problem with the amp is to blame. I am not trying to push any amps on anyone, but I LOVE my CONCEPT amps. I have NEVER had a problem with them, and they are afforadable, and great quality. Make sure your remote turn on is connected to the correct wire. The question about the Cap, is this. Depending on your amp current draw would only be the reason to add a cap. The cap will provide a momentary surge in power that is required when the amp is putting out large amounts of power to your speakers. (most with bass) You can take your car to most alternator shops and have them measure the draw on your altinator with the stereo turned up vs what your alternator will put out. The only thing I would do is take the 2 amps you have now and run your mids and highs. Then take the money and invest it into a good mono bass amp. Concept sells a 500 watt mono amp for 225.00. It is 1Ohm stable and is reall more than you speakers can handle. If you have more money look into an OBCON GZ series enclosure. YOU WILL BE AMAZED at the amount of BASS this thing puts out. 158 Db with 600 watts going to it. [/QUOTE]
