Howdy folks. I'd love to tell you I just did something outrageous to the teener, but alas, it sits in my garage, awaiting Spring. JUST DROVE IT LAST WEEK WITH THE TOP OFF...... but it got cold again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

I did however, finally complete the Stereo in the RSX.

Pioneer 8300 Head unit (fold-down face)

Sony 600W 4-channel amplifier
4 x 6.5 3-way pioneer speakers (inside)

Sony 1200W 2-channel amplifier
2 x 10 MTX 300W subwoofers (box in trunk)

Question: The guy that installed my subs just this past weekend HIGHLY recommended I install a "1 Farad" capacitor on my subwoofer amplifier. He recommended I use one on the 4-channel amp as well.

1. How much danger is my alternator in? Will it last a year? Or a week?

2. Should I get 2 capacitors? Or just one?

3. Can I get one "big" capacitor, and run both amps?

4. Any other suggestions???? What would you do with my setup??

Thanks!!!!

Matt
