Capacitor for multiple amps
i'm adding another amp to my system and since the amp i have now makes my headlights dim (very slightly, hardly noticable) i was thinking of adding a capacitor to help out. i havent dealt with capacitors before and the thought of adding one is a last minute idea. can you wire 2 amps to a capacitor? i bought a distribution block so could i use that?

Rep Power: 322 Yep, just connect the capacitor before the distrobution block.
Technically, you could connect it anywhere, but more likely than not, the power wires coming out of the block are lower gauge than the input, which could limit the current capacity.

Rep Power: 377 i'd be using 4 gauge wire.
i saw this at sounddomain.com. would this be easier/cleaner? its got a built in distribution block.
