Oh ok, yeah for that price I would get it (that is a steal).

Also do you think a cap or extra battery is called for ? How many farads or how big of a battery? My deck only has one subwoofer output , so should i get a line driver. im going to rewire my subs also at 2 ohms what size wire is best ? Thanks for all the help

No cap, what is your vehicle and what is your alternator's output in amps? I would say do the Big 3 Wiring, get a 100AH battery and a voltmeter to watch your voltage and you should be ok. When it comes to speaker wire then anywhere from 10 gauge to 14 gauge would be fine on your subs but some do 8 gauge and that is overkill to me unless you got some powerful subs.

Whats the big three? Is it the battery ,alternator,thing. Im not sure how to do it but i can do some looking around on the web. Its a olds mini van the batterys volts are 15 at the amp. whats a 100h battery. thanks

when the amps draw power from the cars electrical, batteries and alt, the voltage drops. to monitor the voltage install a voltage meter. this is important because low voltage will FRY!!! your amps. 100ah batter is just a ratting on the battery.

so what u need to do are: (this list is what jaycee said and his recommendation, im just simplifying it into a list. to jay cee if this is incorrect let us know)

big three

voltmeter

check battery rating

-if ratting is 100ah keep it

-if rating is below 100ah you may want to replace it or add a 2nd batt in the trunk.

ok thanks buddy you have been alot of help and i think im going to go with a small kinik battery. Some other kind of car audio battery not to big because i dont think i need all that.

Thinking is what is gonna get you messing up your equipment, I wouldnt be telling you what battery you need to get if you didnt need it. Your gonna need a 100AH battery if you want to run all three of those amps in your car, a small battery will not help you out one bit.

Well i didnt get the kicker 750.1. So im right back to the same old set up. I think im just going to run 1 cadence amp at 1 ohm. If it blows ill have a back up. When i got these amp i didnt know how cheap they are. I just thought that they could do 1 ohm strapped. But im on the right track, from now on im going to plan my systems alot better.

I got the volt meter.
