Your system looks pretty decent, and x2 on not buying a cap.

Thanks, I know my setup is not going to be earth shattering but it is my first setup i have ever built. I am so pumped to install everything this week once the amp kit comes in from knu. Just wired the subs in the box and installed the HU today. I am hoping i get the amp kit + extra wiring for the big 3 upgrade on wednesday or thursday from knu.
....you sure you want to install all this stuff in that car? I mean it's a hyundai, it's like that old saying "you cant polish a turd"
What exactly do you drive that is so great?

Gee thanks lol, it really is not my choice of car. Believe me i would much rather have a different car. I am 16 and lucky to have a car. My dad bought the car for himself but since school started and me starting my new job at best buy i use it everyday so he just gave it to me, all i have to do is just pay for gas while he pays for the monthly payments, not a bad deal if you ask me.

IM HERE FOR THE GANG BANG
No need for the cap man. Go ahead and do the big 3. The system looks pretty good. Should sound really nice.

Alright, thank you for the help. If all goes well i should have it all installed by next week. i just hope my lights won't dim. But if they do i can always save up for an h/o alternator.
System looks good man. No need for the cap. Make sure you get a good ground for the amp in the back and you should be golden.

No cap
You chose some nice equipment for a first system. Good luck with the installation, make sure you ask if you have any questions about wiring or fuses, don't want to mess anything up.
When you ground your amp find some nice metal in the trunk and use a dremel to grind all the paint off so it's bare metal. Drill a small hole, and use a sheet metal screw and washer to bolt the ring terminal on the wire down to the metal.
It's a good idea to do the big 3 right away. With 1000 watts I don't think you'll have a problem with dimming. And if you do, don't go the cap route. It is an overly commercialized method of fixing electrical problems. I'm not saying that a properly sized capacitor installed correctly does nothing, but you'll be better off with a battery or alt upgrade if you have problems.

I'm just messing w/ ya' (though I think there are better cars out there for the money, but if you got it from your folks then it's cool)
As far as what I drive...read my sig...For the purposes of this I drive a M1009
