LOL gold!!!

What store u guys at?

Back on topic... Where do you all fit your amps? Under seats, in ze boot or elsewhere?

usually on the back seats mounted, in a amp rack or custom. under the seat is the worst coz it heats up, and mounting on the sub box isnt very good either.

Bought an Alpine unit in 2000 and haven't looked back everything else is cheap in comparison.

i mount mine on the back of the sub box and have never had a problem with them.

Does anyone else run a Capacitor?
I didn't nocice any differance in volume, but notiticed an improvement in bass quality at high volumes.

What cables are people runing?
Im using a Cadance 4gauge and 2, 4 gauge earths.

I'm not running any amps in my car, actually i dont even have a radio in my car at the moment LOL. just Polk speakers in the doors (mmc6500 in the front and DB650 in the rear, and 2 MM2124 subs sitting in my garage gathering dust with a old soundstream amp to run them.)

Although that said i've never had a problem with running amps under seats as long as your not running them on the edge of their power output.

I ran all stinger 4 gauge in my last car's and if i was going to do it again in my golf i'd be using the same stuff. the cheap power cable is not worth it.

a piece of stinger 8 gauge has the same amount of copper as a 4 gauge aerpro/usaudio cable.

Caps are a bandaid fix for a poor power supply in the car. upgrade your battery and power feeds first. 9 times out of ten just upgrading earthing from the battery and the D+ from the alternator to the battery/fuse box fixes all these issues and 99% of engine noise.
