Regular batteries give off hazardous fumes and they can also spill in your car. We've seen a few people that installed them theirselves and caused a lot of damage to their cars. Thousands of dollars worth actually. Anyways. If you decide you want to install the system it'll be $200 for the installation 75 for the wiring kit 130 for the cap and 200 for the battery. so the total is $605 if you want it done properly


this is what the guy said. and all i got is a rockford 1500.2 amp and 3 p3 10" dual 4's subs can some one help me plz.

Wow is all I can say. No need for a cap and you will only need one good battery. The alternator runs the whole show in your car, not a battery (unless the car is not running). Good wire is going to be a must, and yes it will cost $$$$. Do a search on the BIG 3 as it is going to be a must do in your application. Labour time is labour time and it will vary from shop to shop and vary depending on what it is you are having done.
