I actually have a question I have a 1999 mercedes ml320 which puts out 120 amps from the alternator and it uses 77 amps to run the truck with all of the assecories on including lights, heater, wipers and of coarse all ecu's. right now i installed a pioneer deck with two amps one putting out max 2000 watts the other 1600 watts max with two caps one is a 2.0 farad and the other is a 2.8 farad. which are powering 2 sets of 6 1/2 inch components with tweeters 1 set of 5 1 /4 inch components with tweeters and a set or 6x9 pioneers with four pyle tweeters as well as 2 cerwin vega 12inch subs. My question is can I put bigger amps in as well as subs and what is my limit in wattage with out frying out my ecu or my alternator. I will also like to know do you think i need more caps or just one that runs at a higher farad rating.
BTW, I am curious why you have so many speakers....a good set of comps up front and 6X9s in the rear properly powered should fill that car with sound....the rest sounds like over-kill to me.....
