Hey Im gonna list what i have and if you have an idea of what im missing to help me out i would appriciate it so much thx.


Wiring - Stinger 1/0 SWKO 250 AMP Fuse
KnuKoncept Distro Block 1 -4 gauge ( just read back says: Full size ranges 30A - 150 does this mean its no good cause of my stinger wire fuse holder is 250 LMK thx)
4 ch amp for speakers sound storm
1 fared digital cap


I was planing on getting a 20-40 fared digital cap or buy a battery isolater and hook up a battery or 2 in the trunk which one should i do.

 

You will probably need to scrap that 250amp fuse, because it's likely not the size you will be needing. First figure out which amp's you are going to be using and match the fuse rating's as close as you can. As for a caps and such, if you dont already have it, dont buy it. Spend the money you want to use for capacitors on a good battery (Optima Yellowtop), and upgrade your wiring -- "Big 3"

 

Yeah, big 3, run a nice solid ground from the frame to the batt., a nice solid ground from the alt to the batt. and a + lead direct from the alt to the batt. match your wire gauge to whats on your stereo and make sure you protect it all with split loom. I personaly would get the cap but, i would first get the Optima battery. caps dont need to be fancy either 1 or 2 farads/1000watts should do, dont spend lots for nothing. How much power are you planing on pushing? you shouldn't need 2 batteries just one optima.

 

hey i plan on buying a optima battery for under the hood i already have 1 fared cap i plan on buying a 2500.1 kicker amp what do you suggest i do next.

 

if thats 2500 watts, Upgrade the wiring to 0awg and big 3 as i described earlier will help tremendously. that wire should be thick enough to accomodate a 4ch or something in the future too.

 

i already got a 0 gauge wiring kit im installing it tommorow what is BIG 3 ?

 

thats the BIG 3, it involves 3 big wires.

 

If your alternator is stock, you only really need "The big 1" - an upgraded wire from battery to ground.

a 100 amp alternator will move that 100 amps through the stock 4-6ga wire just as well as through a 0ga wire..

 

actually ive been looking to upgrage my alt. but i cant find anywhere on the net that says i can go more then 80 amps which is very disturbing. i was reading this magazing somewhere...where it says you can hook up a dual alt which 2 - 80 amps would put out 160 if you guys could find out

my velichle as follows


hyundai accent 2000 1.5 L (hopefully i can upgrade to atleast 100 amps)
