Another way to do this if you wanted to keep your cap (for looks only).use your cap as the distribution point for your amps , this way you can run 4guage to everything with only one line break. the more line breaks you have the more chances of something being wired wrong,or improperly grounded.I know, no one likes caps but i like the looks of mine alot and everybody that looks at my setup asks about it and says how bad a#% it looks.

What? am I missing something? did you rip the guts out of the cap? If its wired, it's being used.....isn't it?

Did I completely miss something? Why the suggestion for the kill switch? Why would he want to turn off the Alpine amp, but not the other?

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."

yes its being used, but as noted here on this forum a cap serves no real purpose other than look,that is what I was stating.I too dont understand why he wants to be able to turn off one amp and not the other?please explain

The Crystal Ball has been working better than expected. It has been allowing me to answer questions before he asks them. OK well after he PMs the questions to me.
