what up guys, i was just wondering how to install a cpacitor. and if possible if anyone had pictures that would be great.

First of all, you dont need a capacitor. The one that are inside the amplifier is good enough. If anything, upgrading the alternator to a bigger one would be more ideal. The capacitor is not going to save you. It's late a night right now and I dont have the time to explain, but hopefully someone else will. If not, I will try to when I have the time.

I will.

Upgrade these "magic 3" wires:

1)Neg batt to chassis
2)Neg batt to engine block
3)Alternator body to chassis

You can thank me later.

I thought the "Big 3" was:

Alternator Pos to Battery Pos
Battery Neg to Chassis
Chassis to Engine Block

Haha, whoops. I'm getting a bit rusty. You're right.

 

[bl420]

btw do you have a picture of the alternator pos to battery pos

how hard was it to do that wire?

 

[GSteg]

I did the alternator to battery upgrade with 0 gauge. It're pretty tough reaching the alternator. I had to take a lot of junk out of the engine back (such as those black boxes near the battery). No to mention the 0 gauge wasn't really that flexible.

 

[bl420]

yeah i actually found a way to run 1/0 gauge wire from the battery to the trunk without drilling and no wires hanging anywhere... the local car stereo dealer here charges $5 a foot for that kinda size wire..

 

[GSteg]

whoa. That's a lot. I bought mine for $2 a foot. then again, I knew someone selling it soo...
