just take it to an alternator/starter shop and have them work on your alternator. Get the coils returned.

Monster caps are awesome....I have 2

Yeah, one average sized class D should not be a problem for stock battery, alt combo. So long as good wiring and connections are used. Adding any of the additional batteries mentioned may make a cap and/or bigger alt necessary.

Have you even tried to connect this without the cap first? I dont see you needing one, but at least try it out before you go spends tons of money on Caps,Batteries and Alternators....

I also don't think you need one..I'm running an xtant 403a and boston pros with a JL 12w0 and I don't have one. No lights dimming or anything like that.

I honestly dont see it posing a problem, but even if your not putting in the cap now, doesnt mean its not getting done "right" its just being more sensible for the time being. Besides adding a cap later is pretty simple anyway.
