On the amps do you want the amps plugged to the three subs or one to the interior speakers and the subs explain on the cap it must be wired before the amp best done wit a distro block

But ALWAYS be on the lookout for a GOOD mashed capacitater. With lots of homemade chicken gravy!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

It's capacitor, not "capacitator." Dump it, you don't need it. If you lose apparent SPL by adding power and or speakers, you most likely have a phase mismatch in either the amplifier setups or the loudspeaker connections.
