I made a picture in mspaint on how I have my system setup right now. Its not for my s13 its for my sc300, But I thought you guy could help me out. I got a 2 Farad Digital Capacitor. I was wondering were it would go. Im guessing after the second battery, and have all my amps power wires going to it right? Also I was wondering If I have to many fuse. Do I only need one big fuse? Also right now every thing is 4ga, but would I gain anything by making the power and ground wire that goes from battery to battery, and then battery to cap a 0ga. I dont have any problems with the system right now amps are turned down to 1/4 there power. I turned them up to 1/2 to 3/4 there power and I blew the 2 fuse that went to the amps that power the subs. Any help would be great. Thanks

The cap should go as close as possible to the bass amp. Larger power wire will lower resistance so using 1/0 from front to rear would be great. I would put a fuse or breaker on the power cable coming from the main battery right before it connects to the rear battery. The rest is fine.

Thanks right now I have 2 bass amps and one for the highs. So hook both the bass amps up to the cap. Also does there need to be a fuse in between the cap and amps, or battery and cap, or both.

You probably only need a fuse near the batteries.

I have some 1/0 if you need it.

So I should cancel the other fuse and just use 2? Also how much were you looking to get for the 1/0 shipped to 78644. Let me know thanks.
