none at the moment. I might be going for a stinger kit which has 0guage power and ground into a distro block with 4 guage outputs. its gonna be hard to hide that 0 guage **** under the carpet Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That's were most people who have their battery in the boot run their power cables (ie me), if it's safe enough for the entire car's 12 volt system it's safe enough for an amp lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey guys my subs arrived @ the WA fedex facility today so they might be delivered today or tommorow, gotta start making a box etc. But i was just thinking, am i gonna need to get a better alternator? how much does a bigger one set ya back these days? and also i wouldent mind having another battery in the boot, if i was to do that, would i just splice the pos + negative into the origenal batteries pos + neg wires? would it be the same with a dry cell ?

Hey mate , i am running 2 cutting edge monoblocks rated at 1500wrms and drive 1 ohm stable they power 4 X MTX thunder 8000 12" subs and have NOT upgraded the alternator the only thing that i have been running with the amps is a 4 farad stinger capacitor and pretty sure it is 2 gage wiring , 0 gauge from battery to a 2 way splitting block then 2 lots of the 2 gauge to the amps! no bigger alternators required or extra batterys , if you are really that worried just upgrade your standard battery to a oydssey dry cell and get a decent capacitor!

I heard that the capacitors are only needed if you have to much resistance? ie : crappy wiring setup? is this true? I cant find any good damn wiring kits around, super cheap, auto one, repco, jb-hi fi dont have anything good, its all this crappy rampage branded **** thats like 8 guage. ffs!!!!
