Go with Batteries instead

You are looking for a lot of Amperage draw and batteries would be much better for the job

As a general rule of thumb though 10 farad per 1000 RMS

 

how many.........

 

Answer a Few Questions First

1) What is the Total Possible Amperage Draw on all Your Amplifiers Combined (Add up the Fuses on all your amps and that is the number I am asking For)?

2) What is the Amperage output of your current Alternator ?

3)Or is your Alternator the factory alternator

4) What size battery is up front

5) What Gauge size and brand of power wire are you using?

 

Really better off just doing your big 3 and getting you a solid battery upfront. If more is needed, take it from there. Not sure what those amps run so couldn't give you a rough estimate of what would be needed. As far caps, well that is one thing I know almost nothing about, except why and how they work.

 

1)amps dont have fuses(pics) so where do i start now

 

factory alt........
dont have wire in there yet fresh start

 

A nice 4 gauge to the back to a spare/extra battery... should do you nice...

Do not get a cheap ass Amp kit...
