[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2293608, member: 550915"] You can go to 4/0 on the positive and not see any benefit if you don't upgrade the ground path as well. You really can run plenty off the stock alt on most cars because music is dynamic. The amperage drawn by the system is not a constant and between transients is actually quite low. Factor in a good battery with a very low resistance path to the amp to smooth out the transient demands and you can do a lot without getting appreciable voltage drops. The keys are solid wiring and good batteries. Leave the cap out unless you know exactly what it can and can't do and the needs of your system fall into the "can do" category. [/QUOTE]
