More Batteries? Or Cap?

[penguin3820]

I am pretty new to the whole thing and i hear different things. One store i go to says all I will need is a beefy cap. While if i go to another store they tell me im going to need multiple batteries. Which is better?

I honestly think 2 extra batteries with that alt should be fine....

hahaha well they said cap my original system which was just 2 10" qs running off a hk4000d and then the p4004 for the doors.....but ya now im doing 2 12"s and then adding 2 pairs(that makes 4 right?) of components and putting components in all the doors instead of just the 5x7s that i got. I got an yellowtop under the hood right now. so general census is what? 2-3 more batteries? running 2 4000 watt amps and then the 2 4 channels.....does it matter if i have a yellowtop as my starter battery and then would it hurt anything if i use powermasters for everything else?
