i have a 375 watt dual sub powered by a 300 watt dual amp. i also have a dual deck. when i turn the stereo up passed 12 the display fades in and out with the bass and it has blown several fuses already. if someone could tell me what to do before i go out and spend money on a capacitor that would be awesome

You should be able to run that setup off of your stock alternator.Something seems wrong though.What do you have the gain on your amp set at,try turning it down?

your not pulling enough power to need a new alt, or capacitor. Caps arent really used to fix problems anyway. Probally something wrong with the installation.

if fuses are blowing, you have something wired at too low a load, gains all out of wack, too small a fuse mabye (do not replace with larger one if you aren't sure thats the reason!!!), or too small a gague wire.

Which fuse are you blowing amp power cable? fuse in amps? or head unit fuse? if you are blowing fuse when power is turned up you could be square waving the amp this could be problems in the way you have wired the subs could also be that you have a bad earth connection this would also square wave the amp dc dc circuits have you uprated your batery earth cable

Nobody needs a cap, waste of money.

Check your grounds. Make sure you have the sub wired correctly - the right impedence for the amp.

Have your gains properly set to match your headunit's voltage.
