I also have a Phoenix Gold capacitor in the set up but I guess after reading Ken's post, I guess I don't really need it now. It looks good with voltage reading thought.

By the way, what wire are you using? I have 4 gauge Streetwire with a circuit breaker and an in-line fuse holder. I just want to make sure that the wire is appropriate enough so I won't burn anything. Thanks.

Justin,
Not sure if you have the retractable load floor or not. I do have the load floor and underneath there is a tray that covers the spare and gives some additional storage. I took the tray out and used a 1/2" piece of MDF to create a new floor to mount the amps on. With the amps on the floor I have about a 1/2" of space above the amps. As for the wiring, I am using a similiar setup to yours. Ken would be able to verify this, but I was talking with someone who suggested to install a relay on the remote turn-on wire to avoid damage from the amp back feeding. I've never had this issue, but if there is something to be concerned with, I want to adress it.
