Answer 9

ALL of the above is good, RESEARCH,1. larger cap would be good; 1 farad is not enough!2.how old is your battery?more than 3 yrs, replace it. 3.H.O. alt. should be more than 120 amps. with PROPER modification under the hood!! can stress that enough. FIRE can result. are you going bigger and louder in the next 3 years? plan for it. RESEARCH! YOU HAVE ENTERED THE BASS ZONE. personnaly I have enough power that you can feel the bass through your chest, and yes it does effect your breathing.
