[QUOTE="Steven, post: 96405, member: 544311"] OK here we go... 1. If you add a 160 amp alt you shouldn't have to worry about a cap. Caps are band-aids for an already weak charging system. I wouldn't power your subs off an amp that puts out that low of power, it probably will end up sounding very distorted and wouldn't be very loud 2. Use a relay on the decks remote wire to control the power to the DSP 3. AS long as your grounds are clean and tight noise shouldn't be a problem 4. I would ru the power wires down the same side of the vehicle that the battery is on. This will keep your power wires as short as possible which is what you need. Just also remember to run your signal wires on the other side of the vehicle. I know chris229 will disagree, but this is a common source of noise in a system. He claims it can't cause noise, but I've seen too many noise problems fixed by moving the signal wires to the opposite side. Just to be on the safe side, keep em separate, why take the chane of having to remove your wires and run them again? Hope all this helps. I don't necessarily like pyramids, I know that they are cheap speakers, thats all I could afford at the time and they sound good enough. Heck, they actually beat many of the "better" speakers that I've heard in otehr peoples vehicles, but Install is 90% of the sound quality so thats where I went right. [/QUOTE]
