new addition to system:but were to mount






cant decide if i should mount them between the bottle and the one amp,or inbetween the front seats on the front of the enclosure.
im still gonna have to mount a crossfire 2000d amp in the back for the 2 alpine x's i have going in the hatch.so i dont want everything getting to cluttered

I like them better between the seats, it adds to the show off factor a bit while looking into the cockpit, also it hides the wires a bit more and looks more clean/neat.

mont them on the wall of your garage.


Sorry I dont like caps, and with just one amp do you really need TWO?

Not trying to be a richard Cranium, but I wold reccomend looking into the "Big Three" upgrade, or maybe a bigger alt. Caps are bandaids, not solutions.

my buddy has two rockford fosgate amps, a 1200 watt 4 channel and 1800 watt 2 channel. 4 boston acoustic 6x9's and 2 alpine type R 12"s.

he's been rockin them for two years with only 1 capacitor with a stock alternator and battery with no problems. i'd just throw one in, and i'd mount it in a wheelwell behind the plastic trim.

I'm not so sure that it would be a good idea to run power wires right next to a nitrous bottle, that's just my opinion... I would keep that as far away from the amp and wires as possible..

I say mount 1 cap behind the plastic pieces too..
