Dual amps, dual capacitors, how to wire them up...
Friday, April 08, 2005 2:31 PM
Hey, I will be getting 2 JL 500/1 amps here pretty soon(1 for each sub) as well as two 1 farad capacitors. I have seen multiple capacitors hooked up before with bus bars. In my application though, I'm not sure. I guess I have 2 options.

1. Wire up both caps with all the wire inputs from the distribution block and use bus bars

OR

2. Wire up each cap seperate, and then run the wire from each cap to each amp.

If this seems confusing, I drew a diagram to show you what I mean. Let's see if I can get it to load....

kinda off topic but what not just get the JL 1000/1 ? its a bad ass amp and the power output is the same for a 1.5 ohm laod all the way up to 4 ohm load.... makes life easy

since you're running two identical amps just wire them up with each amp. probably wont make a whole lot of difference either way, but there would be less resistance between the amp and cap

get thisd product from darvex: stinger distro block
it has a 1/0 input and 2 4 ga inputs one for each cap. also, get this ground distro block

these should work great for you!
