Open the hood and check out your electrical system integrity. Add up the fuse ratings on the amps and see if the alternator will handle that extra load. An alt upgrade is in store if it won't. Hold off on the cap until the system is installed completely without it. You might be returning it for a refund. Check out the battery ground cable and cable from alt to battery. Clean connection points and upgrade wires if needed to handle current. See this site for wiring requirements for that amperage.

Draw a diagram of your system and figure your wire and cable needs. Bigger is better. Figure out your sub enclosure requirements and start building the box.

You will have more specific questions as the install gets going. Those kinds of questions are much easier to field and you'll get more responses.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
