Capacitors are a great idea, but a 2nd battery works just as well and is much cheaper. Of course, if you have a weak/old alternator, it could put a bit to much strain on it.

Yeah, my boy had to install two "caps" in his car cause the system was too much of a drain on his battery. I shouldn't need to install a "cap", or a 2nd battery with just two 8's though right?? Or should it be done anyway just to be on the safe side??

Originally posted by Dario i heard you get an upgrade to your system to prevent power drains like that. dont know exactly what.
im waiting on getting my 2 10" subs, and some new speakers so ill see how it goes from there. here is a link to some of my pics of the head unit amongst other pics.
Yo, nice ride sun!!!! I just painted my calipers this past Sunday. I'm trying to get into a Nissan or Maxima club and go to meets of some sort, but there aren't too many in my area.
What kind of Suspension set up are you running with? That's a nice a drop!!!!

check out teamnio.com to see if you want to open up a nissan team chapter in your area. also check out maxima.org and check in the regional forums, there are some guys there from NY im pretty sure.
as for the drop im using Eibach's Pro-kit with the stock struts, soon to be upgraded to either tokico blues or the adjustables soon to come out.

You shouldn't NEED a 2nd battery or cap with two 8's generally, but if you're pushin a good amount of power to them or the rest of your system is drawing a good amount of power, they aren't a bad idea. A battery will store more power than any cap. They will mainly get rid of the dimming headlights.

The org huh? Cool!!! I have my Eibach pro-kit sitting in their box waiting to be installed. I'm just waiting to get up the $275+ dollars it's gonna cost me for the Tokico blue's. That's cool though, you have the same suspension i'm about to put on my Max!! So how do the Eibach's feel?? I hear they're pretty stiff, but the Tokico's smooth 'em out alot!!! So adjustable's are about to come out? I guess they're the 'White's" right?? I'm waiting for Stillen to finish production on their headers for the 02-03!! I gave 'em a call and they told me they weren't ready yet, DAM!!!!

yeah the eibachs are real stiff at first but not as bad as you think. the tokico adjustables i heard are coming out pretty soon but if not ill just get the blues. i heard though that the blues dont hold to well with cars being lowered. but then ive heard others say that they rock and havent any probs with them. so i guess its a toss up.

Yeah, i guess you never know until you try right? I've heard the same thing. But i do know that the blues are alot stronger than the stocks so, only experience will tell!! Hope those adjustables come out soon, ya heard!!!

dario, I had one on my third gen altima until I sold the car. I also had a 1680 watt dual amplifier system. I noticed OCCASIONAL headlight dimming, but nothing more than I have seen from other cars with that much power bumping.
BTW, I got two infinity kappa 10's in a q-logic box with a Kenwood 600 watt amplifier for sale. PM me or email me when you get ready for your system if you want good stuff for a lower price. I will even show you how to hinge your box in a 3rd gen altima to allow for more trunk space at times if you are interested.

I heard on the org that the increase in power for the cost of parts and labor are not worth it on the Stillen Headers.
