[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1322002, member: 561023"] This sounds just fine and pretty similar to what most people that have been into aftermarket audio for any length of time do in their setups as well. You might find that even if you are able to source out the 6awg cabling that it may not fit into a normal distribution block very well. Most (not all, mind you, but most) distribution blocks which accept 4awg cable on the input side will call for 8awg cable on the output side. 6awg might be a bit hard to shove into an opening meant for 8awg wire. If the run is going to be short, though, from the distro to the amp, 8awg should serve just fine. I think you'll find that most regulars here on the forum would advise against the addition of a capacitor in hopes to stengthen a weak charging system. Without getting into all the pros and cons of capacitor usage I'll simply state that you'll get much more positive results from upgrading the [URL="http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=124175"]"Big 3"[/URL] of your underhood wiring. (see linked page for detailed explanation) Hope this helps somewhat and good luck with your install!
