[QUOTE="natem33, post: 9515, member: 541071"] I would deffinately recommend the batteries, but along with the batteries you would need some serious alternator power to keep those batteries charged. I'm no pro in the huge SPL systems, and have mainly dealt with one or two amp systems, but I have read quite a bit of literature about this. For the caps, I would use at least 4 full farads with bus bars to connect them. again, you would need a bigger alternator for the caps to hold a good charge. If you have never installed stereo equipment before, a system of this complexity would be a big challenge. Once you have purchsed some equipment you can ask for advice through this forum, but I strongly recommend finding some literature that would explain installation. There's just too much involved to be able to do a good install job just by asking for advice through a forum. Besides that, there are many variables that you will encounter while installing. I encourage your ambition to do this on your own, just make sure that you read as much as you can about it to prepare yourself. Multiple amp systems of that size require so much power that I can't emphasize enough the need for the high output alternator(s) which amounts to big $$$. Feel free to ask any questions that you have. There are some SPL fanatics on this forum that have more experience than I do, so hopefuly they will offer their advice. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
