Power Wiring 2 Amps + Cap

[Dysproxy]

I believe this is the correct way to wire my system. My alternator is rated at 110 amps, my fuse is 90 amp(i believe it should adequately charge the cap) however i am worried with this setup that when the cap charges it may drain voltage going to the second amp???? Please check it out for me and know if i need to correct anything.

Well I guess I'll say it since nobody else has. Lose the Cap and do the Big 3. Also what size wire do you plan on running?

If you decide to use the cap, which you really dont even need this would be the correct way of setting it up.

give everything a seperate ground

do the big 3 with 0 gauge then properlly set it up this way

use 0 gauge from batt to d block incase you ever wanna go bigger later. then 4 gauge from d block to amps.

I already have wire ran form a previous install through the car. Its all 4 gauge, do you think this will work? I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible so im not rilly intrested in running 0 to the trunk. My father in law runs a mechanic shop so i have access to lift so the big 3 should be easy.

I already have the cap lol... Should i put it in or return it if i do the big 3?

what car do you have? whats your amp rating on your alternator? if you do the big 3 with 0 gauge you will be fine. and why do you need to put your car up on a lift for the big 3? your alternator unreachable from the top?

I believe the engine ground is not accessible from the top. I purchased the required materials for the big 3 today. Its going in tomorrow morning. 56 bucks o.0 I assume if i have browning regardless of the big 3 i'm left only to upgrade the alternator?
