For something that strong id still reccomend the alternator be uprated. | |

damn,didnt think it would be that much! would it be ok to just replace my battery with a yellow top,then get a cap or would i still not be getting enough power? it would be running 3 amps with a total rms of about 1800watts | |

Well if ur just running 6x9's you'll just be spending £100 on a display item. Your 6x9's wont benefit from it. | |

A power capacitor is also referred to as a stiffening cap. Basically it smooths out the power to the amplifier and when a nice bass drop hits it kicks in to give the amp the extra juice that it needs so it can produce the note as cleanly and loudly as possible. | |
