Well the next thing I am looking at doing to my car is the sound system so far I have a deck, a sub, and an amp. The following links is what I have right now.

Anyways, I was wondering what speakers and amp to power the speakers i should get. Also, I was wondering if I should get capacitors because of the wattage of the sub and the sub's amp wattage. If so, which capacitors and how many should I get?

Thanks in advance for your help guys. :-)

wow this is an old thread, well if you haven't bought all the stuff yet then IMHO, for that Sub it doing about 700W RMS and 1400W peak a 1 farad Capicitor would be recommended. Since any bass system running up to 1000W will want a Cap to help with the voltage that surges when the bass kicks in. That sub and Amp should be good enough for that setup. Just add a decent cap like a 1 farad cap from Lightning Audio with a digital display like http://www.crutchfield.com/p_495LDDC1/Lightning-Audio-LDDC1.html?search=capacitor&ssi=0. For the # of caps it is usually safe to go with 1 farad cap per 1000W.

If you don't want to go with a cap. ( I have never used one) You can choose to upgrade your battery to a Kinetics. I've used them in the past and never a problem.

I've ran MB Quart for a while with Alpine amps. I would recommend staying away from eclipse as for my experience has been nothing but bad with there product.
