Best wiring option?

[Mynameismcgyver 10+ year member]

I am installing the rest of my sys into my new car tomorrow. I have two Alpine V12 amps in a Nissan Maxima stock alt (for now) and red top. Wondering if I should wire my 1.5 Farad cap just to my 1000W sub amp or is it best to hook it up to both amps. Keep in mind, the high's amp is only running just a component set.

Thanks.

I'd run it throught all the amps even thought the amp for your highs is not drawing very much power you only need 1 Farad for every 1000w.

Some one else told me to do the same. The Cap did help quite a bit in my other setup for the record.

after you install the cap make you sure go to best buy and get it "charged"

Had little dimming in the car w/o a cap...None after.

IMO they look stupid, but honestly if you just bought 10ft of 1/0 and some ring terminals from knuknoceptz.com would cost about 40$ shipped probably. It will work a lot better.
