A bigger alternator or possibily capacitors. That many amps will definitely take it's toll on your battery and charging system.

A capacitor will not help!
It is a good idea to invest in a high output alternator.
Oh, and are you talking about single or double 0 guage?
Why not just run a few 2 and/or 4 gauge wires to where your amps are located.

Alternator is a must for this much power! I would run a single 0 gauge then distro to 4 or 2 guage to the amps

what kind of amperage would i be needing to get. i was told to run single 0 gauge.i guess 4 gauge would be to small to run because that's what i have currently running my ppi art series amps. thanks guys
