Help with Car Audio

I have 2 13W6V2's connected to a JL 1000/1 and am also running Boston Acoustic Pro60s on a JL 300/4. I have two monster 1 farad caps and am running with a normal battery and stock alternator. When my volume is up my amp trips on hard bass notes. It would cut and then come back on over and over again. I talked to the guys at tweeter and they told me if I get a 5 farad cap, I will be able to blast the bass as loud as I want without any tripping. I would like to get any other suggestions on what I could do to fix my problem.

hello, welcome to the org. there's a forum dedicated to audio/video/electronics further down on the main forums list.

the cap doesn't really help much. what gauge wiring are you running to your amps? they're starving for power.

grounding kit, bigger caps, 0 gauge wire, etc. 1 farad caps are good for 1000 watts only.

Sorry about the same posts, but in order to post a new thread I have to REPLY to 15 posts first (apparently a new rule to combat spammers). Since I didn't have 15 posts that I had legitimate replies for, and I had a question to ask, I had to "make up" some replies. My apologies.

that big of a system, you might wanna think about a beefed up alternator, or dry cell battery...i know from experience that you will simply be over working your charging system, and your alt and/or battery will get burnt up in a shorter time period...
