[QUOTE="djhath, post: 1384262, member: 565512"] My current amp/sub combination is a Kenwood PS400-M powering a single JL 12W3v2d4 (dual voice coils wired in parallel for a 2-ohm load) in a ported box. The Kenwood amp is dying a slow death and is being replaced with a Polk C500.1 amp. I'm going to have my amps moved from the back (trunk) of my 2004 Saturn VUE to underneath the front seats. The problem with doing that is, I do currently have a 1-farad capacitor for the system and will be unable to fit it up front. It was suggested to me that I should be able to run the system without the cap. Based on the vehicle ('04 VUE, the sub/amp combo to-be), do you think I'm safe without the cap? I'm not usually pushing the system hard anyway, but during the summer it can be nice. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif[/IMG] Any advice is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
