don't get a cap :/ they hurt you more than help :/ not to be a pain in the *** and not "dissing" your system
just that caps make the alt work harder in the long run b/c of all the work it has to do to charge it up
bigger power wire is more beneficial to helping your amps get the power they need

im sure that bumps nicely though! looks good

what kind of amp you have?

Its a two channel amp so i have one channel go to one sub and one to the other.
They hit really hard and deep. Only problem is that my trunk rattles alot but nothing inside. It sounds really clean inside but outside all you hear is rattling. Also i need to figure out a way to bolt them down somewhere or just make straps or something because when i take off from a light or whatever i find my self in the back seat hooking all the wires all over once in a while because the box gets pushed towards the trunk lid.
Last time i weighed the box with subs and amp and cap it weighted about 170lb thanks to kickers double stacked magnets my gas milage is sh*t now haha

Are your subs dual voice coil? depending on the ohm of them and the impedance your amp can handle getting down to, you can produce more power from it, I am guessing you have dual 4 ohm kickers and if you run that amp down to 1 ohm instead of 2 that you are running it will drop way harder..My amp gets down to .5 ohm producing 2100 watt so try and drop it lower and see the diff...Dont forget to amp your voices/music speakers as they say in the south...
