just to let everyone know: if any of you have installed caps with voltage monitors on them, whenever you see a voltage drop due to a bass hit, it is because your alternator cannot supply enough current to the load (amp).
voltage would never drop if there were enough current to supply the amp. this is basic electronics.

The JL 500/1 does not accept 0 gauge I believe. Tweeter said I should run 2 sets of 4 gauge wires from my battery, are they bsing me or is this decent advice. Should I worry about my alternator? It is 11 years old.
