i have two amps running off of my battery, and it is really killing my alternator.
right now, all i have is a 1 farad cap and its not helping a whole lot. the amps are lanzar 1000w and lanzar 1600w pushing 2 polk dx12's and 2 JBL 12's.
can you daisy chain caps? could i buy a 2 farad cap and link it together with my 1 farad cap to make 3 farads? or does it not work like that
also, what guage power wire should i be using. i have 8 guage right now, is that good enough? and do i need to run two wires from the battery? or can i just use the same wire for power?
sorry for the noob questions, but im just getting into this stuff and i need help
thanks
