Nightshade Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 It can't hurt to run the caps. If I had them I wouldn't hesitate to run them. If anything it will help stiffen the voltage up a little bit. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasteland_Audio Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Well the issue i'm having is the amps have dual power/ground inputs and the caps only have one, so if i ran them i would have to run a single run from the battery to the cap, then run a 1 1/0-to-2 1/0 distribution block between the cap and amp. Would that even be safe to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 You can get terminals made to allow the caps to accept dual inputs if you want, but to answer your question it will be fine to run the way that you asked about. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasteland_Audio Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Oh... well in that case i may just do that, i'll be running the caps right next to the amps so it'll only be 10" of cable between batt/cap and cap/amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPL.Pantie.Soak Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Since this is a budget build (mine was originally as well) I would have recommended some Dekas over the Xs Power batts, then you may have been able to snag another one or two. I have a Mechman 370 and it is a TANK... One more thing, I think I would go with some 1/0 Welding cable over the 1/0 CCA. In my budget build I was able to locate some reasonably priced OFC welding cable and never looked back. Box looks dope man !

graham0599 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Personally I'd just sell the caps and put the money towards more battery. Other wise looks awesome!

Wasteland_Audio Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Sorry i haven't been on in a couple days, my day off didn't feel like a day off at all. I'll be pushing to get the box built and sealed up tonight. Thanks for all the support and input guys, it really helps motivate me to get it done and bangin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
