Am i better off using my 8 farad hybrid cap? 4.what kind of numbers can i expect to reach with my current setup and what should i ditch for better 1. If youre running in the back, you should get a sealed one. I believe over time they do give off a toxic gas if im not mistaken, dont quote me though 2. You should first think about upgrading the big 3, in 0 gauge it will do wonders and its cheap.(If you dont know what that is, look it up on here) Then run 0 gauge back to the second battery. 3. Probably better off ditching it. Batterys > Caps 4. Too many variables to even give an estimate...

keepinitloud Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 yeah used sealed batteries so you don't get fumes and do the big three in 1/0 and in between the batteries and if you like soundstream think about eventually swapping out the picasso's for the t-5 or any level up from that and the crunch amp for one of there amps or something better but for starts that should work out good till your ready to go bigger or better Quote 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
