What's your reason to have a cap bank instead of a battery? Space, weight, ect?

Yes and yes

Alright, then its going to be expensive for quality stuff.

If neither of those was a problem, I would have said just to stick with batteries. I had some good caps on ebay bookmarked a while back, but can't seem to find them now

I found one unbranded 6 pack for $400.

I'm trying to keep everything but the sub box mounted on the rear shelf.

I know where to get some caps at a decent price. He has 4 banks of 6 I have 2 banks in the blazer. For voltage issues. They help keep the voltager higher and space is an issue in it as well

One of these would do for ~1k and you could probably still mount it to the rear shelf.

Or, get a really good under-hood battery and do a couple runs of good OFC to the back

I'm not drilling holes in this one. 1 run is all she is getting. And the battery is a weird group 90. I think a 31 will fit but I haven't checked yet.

How much would you think? I'm not sure if I need it just looking at worst case

If you can fit a group 31, Boomsday is selling some 90 ah ones cheap. I ordered 3.

I'd check voltage drop before spending a bunch of money on a cap bank

I was able to get my blazer up to 14.2. But after the caps 14.8. They do help. But if its daily like mine. Then you need batts to The caps will help stabilize voltage as it did in the blazer

As of right now I'll have a tick under 2k on tap but I doubt I'll be using half of it daily. 150amp alt stock but I'm thinking it runs a lot. Big 3 of course and 1/0 run to the back with distro. With the tune I'm looking for I really think I'll be ok on stock.
