I have a question for anybody out there who can help me. I have a 1000 watt mono amp and a 500 watt 4 channel amp. I have a 1 farad capacitor and two distribution blocks. I also have a 4 gauge amp kit and finally an EQX series II (egualizer/crossover)made by Audiocontrol.I just bought a 140 amp circiut breaker.Am I good to go or am I missing something else to complete my system? Also can anyboby out there provide me with a sketch of how everything I have should be hooked up or any suggestions you may have would be very helpful to me. If I am running
two amps should I wire the cap before the distribution block or after?

Thanks,
        Gilbert

Put the cap before the distro. block.  circuit breaker goes within 2 feet of the positive battery terminal.

What kind of head unit do you have?
