Currently I have two JL M6450 pushing 6 JL cockpit speakers, 4 JL tower speakers and 1 JL sub. They are powered by the stock wiring, meaning two 4 gauge power cables and two 4 gauge ground cables which are wired to the two batteries.
My question:
I would like to add a JL M1400 to run the sub along with a capacitor to help with the power draw. How would I go about wiring this? Could I run both power cables to the positive terminal on the capacitor via a distribution block and then using another distribution block to split it up to the three amps? Same thing with the ground cable, or do I have to use a different grounding point for the capacitor then the amps? If so where should I ground it?
I understand I could run one power and one ground of 0 gauge to the capacitor and then use 4 gauge from the capacitor to the amps, but this would cost a lot more and would require me to re-run the wires. If I can avoid this it would be great, but if I cannot I will just go this route.
Thanks in advance,
