Yes you would have problems! Gee I would like to sit on your back seat and feel that! :shock:

What guage cable do you have from the battery to distro block or amps?
Running any other amps for other speakers of the same power cable?

Things to do:
2 or 0 guage power cable from battery.
Heavy duty battery.
Upgrade you GND cabling from amps to chassis and chassis to battery.

Do these properly and you wont need a gay capacitor.

yeh what gauge wire? ud prob want 2 gauge. 4 gauge minimum. Jaycar sells 2 gauge. Make sure ur grounds are short and fat and make good contact (with chassis not paint)

Then look to upgrading ur battery (dont look at a cap)

edit: too quick poita

thanks thats what i thought.... but the idiots at the shop always wanna sell you a cap... they are only povo subs in 2 small sealed enclosures.... but they go ok lol

it runs seperate wires to the amps no dist block, 4ch under pass seat mono under drivers seat.... the mono dosent even get hot at all!!! the 4ch warms up nicely though...

im going to play around with the grounding first then work from there....
then get some freekin sound deadening... inside it's all good, but from the back the boots buzzing.. it stops if i pushdown hard on the bootlid though
