if i am running two amps.....would it be better to run a cap with it? and, is it better to just splice the power rather than running two power cords?....need some feedback

Buy a better alternator and battery instead of a cap.

I couldnt tell you without knowing all the equipment you are running, how long the power wires are etc.


Typically a single 4 gauge wire is enough to run 2 amps that arent power monsters.

ya, i talked to my friends at elite auto sound and performance and he said to run a single 4 gauge wire back to a distribution block and run two 8 gauges out of that to the two amps..... because i have a 800 watt 2 channel and a 400 watt 4 channel so, that should work....
