Stereo question

Use a capacitor, a 1F cap should work up to 500W.

Jan

I thought that 1F is up to about a 1000W. Years back in my 'wild' days :o) i was told to use .500 for about 500W. This however was not a beetle (dunno if it makes a diff) Be sure to use THICK wires for juse and ground. 25 mm is no extreme.

One amp driving both subs, or a dedicated amp for each?

You could use a bigger Cap to drive it all or you could have two 1F amps if you had 2 separate amps.

I don't know for sure if there's a difference between a bug and a modern car that would affect the function of the caps, but the beetle charging system IS weaker than that of a modern car, that much is known.. so it's only wise to play it safe and not blow monet on inadequate parts.

Hmmmm, come to think of it... When i changed cars back then, I blew a 13 mnd old Generator from a peugeot. (just out of the 12mnd warranty) I always thought a bad ground was the reason.... (I'm sure the ground was bad) Darn! 10 years later i've figured it out! :o) Thanks Jan.
