System Setup

at some point im looking into getting two dual voice coil 4 ohm mtx 9500's. I own a 93' Grand Cherokee Limited

What would be best?

-one 2 channel amp or two monoblock amps

-one or two capacitors

-4 or 2 or 1 gauge wiring

To run through a distribution block is it better to run larger wire to the block or from the block?

- one mono amp.  Easier to setup and use.

- none.  Upgrade the Big 3 and your alternator if you need to.

- use the largest cable you can afford, but at least cable capable of 2X your amplifier's current draw

- Larger cabel to a block.  Be sure to use the proper size fuse or circuit breaker at the battery.

I'd have to agree as well..don't worry about a cap. when everything is working perfect and all your wiring, charging system, battery are up to par..if you have any money leftover burning a hole in your pocket it can't hurt to add a cap if you want to..just don't expect to notice any noticable difference in the sound.

A "stiffening" cap used for this purpose in theory is supposed to make up for any sudden loss of voltage in your wires due to heavy bass notes when the current demands are maxed. But if the wires can handle the current demands to begin with I can't see a cap doing anything significant.

Now if your charging system is not up to task it needs to be addressed. No amount of caps or expensive deep cycle batteries will make up for that.
