boostedcivic,,i'm currently running no cap though I need one. I'm running 1/0 gauge from batt to rear mounted distro block and 4 gauge from the block to amps as well. That sub/amp combo will show you dash battery gauge how to bounce :) I'm going to upgrade my alternator and batt this week. I'm thinking of getting an optima yellow top.,
uthinkuknoaudio, agreed..they do NEED there power. I'm suprised they didn't hit with 750 however.
This may be a dumb question.. but keep in mind i'm not mr audio know it all.. How can I tell if my sub is pulling a 4 or 2 ohm load. My subs are dvc,, but I think the way I have the vc's wired they are running in 4ohm because it's like 2 subs wired in parellel. The terminals on my sub are like one terminal that powers both vcs.. know what i'm talking about?

It all depends on your wiring ... but definitely go with the optima yellow top. I have one and it is great.
