First off...it looks like you are running 3 different subs. For the most part...this is just a bad idea. I think you are trying to get too much put together from all over the place. I think you need to re-evaluate what you are trying to do and scale down your subwoofer set to one brand/model.  Either decide to stay with your T1, or your 2 4500s, or your 6000, not all of them or a combination of them.

Also, the Jensen amp is not your best bet, and would be working hard as hell just to push your Rockford T1, let alone anything else. Though the specs say 600 @ 1ohm, I don't think it's going to run at that impedence very long (if at all). There are no built in fans so this amp will get into thermal shutdown very quickly at 1 ohm. Also, if you are adding the other subs, more than likely you are running the load down to .5 ohm or lower which will shutdown the amp immediately into protect mode.

This is not an issue with not getting enough power from your battery or electrical system, this is more of an issue with how you are wiring your subs to the amp.

My recommendation:

Decide what subwoofer(s) you want to stay with and take the others out. Then we can suggest the proper amplifier and how to wire it up together. If you want to keep what you have, I would imaging that just about everyone here will advise you not to.

Also, don't worry about a capacitor. Do a seach on capacitors on this forum, you will find out what they do and why you should not every need them.

i just want the 2 4500 but one seems lower then the other when it hits have any suggestions and which one would you go with which would have the most noise pollution the 6000 and t1 or 4500 i might need new wires also because the gagues are to small they arent big and i need a capacitor dont you think just tell what i should go with and try not to burn a whole in my poket

To quote someone else in the forum (dont remember who said it) "capacitors are bandaids"

If you need more power do a search on upgrading the "big 3" and then if you still need power go for an alternator upgrade. Upgrade battery/batteries if you'll be playing the system with the car off for long periods of time.

Relax grasshopper.  You should spend some time looking around this site as there is more than enough info readily available for you to absorb in one day.  And limit the new subjects until you get squared away in what you already have open.  They'll just get deleted and we'll have some irritated mods on our hands.
