Aight i finally ran into some money, i was thinkin about buying a 1 Farad Cap from a frined for just $50 its a Phoenix Gold so its good and its a Digi too... Although it doesnt have a resistor with it... where can i get one for it, also is it necessary with a Kenwood 1000w 2 ch amp for 2 subs? I mean i have no problem... yet with my alt but its a weak piece of s^!t. What do u think guys... Oh yea and for those who responded about my box thanks but i built it a couple days ago with about .8 cubes each chamber sealed no ports or anything but sounds good with just 160 watts per sub so far from my stereo at home...

Remember adding a cap will make things harder on your alt, not easer. If anything I would upgrade your alt, and add a cap later if you want to. That is if your lights are dimming when the bass hits. If they aren't I would leave it alone, or simply upgrade your charging wire (alt to battery) and ground wires (battery to chasy ground and battery to engine block, or alt housing).
