I am looking to add a little oomph to the Bose system in my 2011 G37 Sedan and I have a few questions. I am going to run a Alpine Type-X 12' in a custom sealed box paired to a JL Audio JX1000/1d. I am also going to be using a LC2i as the line-out converter instead of a cheaper one. Will the factory battery have enough juice to run the amp, or will I need capacitors or alternators? What other things will I need for the installation? I'll be taking it to a professional installer but I would like to know what I'll need to bring. Any other helpful advice and tips are appreciated.

 

Factory set up is actually pretty decent.

Run a 4ga (or equivalent to you power wire) ground from the battery to the chassis also.

A cap wont help at all.

Install everything first, then see if your electrical set up needs help.

 

I have a 12 inch sundown (600 rms) with a 1200 watt hifonics amp and a 6 farad cap and grounding kit installed. Don't know if the cap helps or just looks pretty but there no dimming in lights at all.

 

If its draining your battery, I would add this small battery. I've ran them in my previous vehicles and they work amazingly!!
