Audio Advice
Everything you need is listed above.
Nug
can i just runn a bass cap instead of buyin the battery. does that battery just run the system itself or does it replace the one in the car now
Audio Advice
No you cannot, cap wont do any good.
Battery, you can run it with your existing batter for more power bank for your system.
e-lo
so you know nug bass caps/batt caps are the worst thing you can do some people even audio shops dont hook them up right even if it is hooked up right it will put a strain on your battery and electracal system.

batterys and h.o. alternator's along with the big 3 is the best thing you can do and oh yeah please try and fuse every thing try putting a fuse block on the wire thats running from the battery to the amp.

if you dont have 1 that should stop it from blowing a fuse on the amp and the blinking head lights mean 2 things either you need a bigger battery or h.o. alternator i doubt you need that with the 1200 watt amp i had a 1800 watt amp and my lights wasnt blinking and i had a 90 amp alt and the biggest battery you can get from autozone along with the big 3 upgrade
Audio Advice
Caps only should be used when your electrical is up to par, it will help stabilize voltage, but if your electrical is strong, you dont need one really.

So skip caps.
Nug
i do have a fuse runnin from the batt. but when i play a song wit mad bass mostly gucci the lights dim every hit. but i have a 4gauge amp kit. so i should just get a bigger battery and a h.o. alt. ill b home from irag in a few months and thats one of my first things i wanna do when i pick my car up. by the way what a you refering to when you say the big 3

Get 0 guage wiring, you can use the 4 guage on a smaller amp (mids,highs amp) also the batt and alt.

Get that audiopipe, good to go.

This is the big 3:

e-lo
and the best upgrade anyone can do system or not you really dont have to use 0 gauge 4 gauge would also help but 0 gauge will be beter in the long run if you are upgrading to a bigger amp
Audio Advice
0 guage lets more current run thru.
