[QUOTE="huberoy123, post: 8720257, member: 658561"] Why the capacitors? If you plan to run 2 batteries, Do you need them? I'm running 3 amps, without a capacitator, and I haven't experienced any problems. If you must have them, I would wire 1 capacitor for each amplifier. I would ground each independently and run the power wire to the amp. I did try a capacitor, several years ago, and didn't see a benefit. I also learned that they can be dangerous; it can charge and discharge so much power so very quickly that it can weld metal objects, like tools and jewelry, and melt its own insides out. I did like the way it looked. So I gutted it, mounted it near the amps, and used it to test the voltage coming into the trunk. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
