[QUOTE="grandam888, post: 7154207, member: 628519"] first off i would stop now while your ahead. If your amp is killing your battery right now, don't keep playing it, you will fry your amp from under voltage. second, the cap isnt really going to help. The alternator puts out the power, the battery stores it. now if your exceeding the output of your alternator with that amp, and obviously you've drained the "storage" (as you've said its killing your battery) then not only are you not getting the 2000 watts out of the amp cause you cannot supply enough amperage from the alternator, but your risking frying your output fets in your amp. now, if you even dream of running TWO of these amps your going to need some serious power from an High output alternator, when your pushing 2000 watts of power your pulling 148 amps @13.5 volts(which your not doing 13.5 volts) so @ 4000 watts in order to come close to maintaining a decent voltage your going to need at least a 300 amp alternator, and 2 batteries, with a few runs of 0 gauge wire and the big three in 3/0 wire. I am imagining you have not even done the big three upgrade yet, considering you think adding a capacitor will help you in your electrical issues(and it wont). Start with not using the amp, put it in the garage, use a smaller more "electrical" friendly amp for now, and pull out the 2000 watt when you've made some improvements on your electrical system. watch this video, [MEDIA=youtube]p82xRzCr-lc[/MEDIA] last thing you want to do is fry that amp, then spend 150 or more fixing it. I blew a Rockford 15002 this way, amp pulls around 200 amps of current, i have a 120 amp alternator, one day the amp stops working. STAY AWAY FROM THE CAPS [/QUOTE]
