Hi.. starting an install ready for summer.. just knocked this diagram up bit eye boggling tho lol does it all look ok will it work ok? or any ideas would be good?
Also would I be able to run both amps from the power cap, ( having 1 line from battery to power cap and moving the power block to run 2 wires from the power cap to amps) ?
cheers
Black is Earth wire!

Ditch the power cap. They do nothing apart from add a bit of bling and cause potential problems. Don't use 6x9s either, any speakers on the parcel shelf will distort from the bass in the boot. Keep standard speakers in the back just for a bit of rear end fill and spend your money on good quality front door speakers and amplify them properly too. Don't forget sound proofing and use quality cabling, this will make the best of your equipment. A Ł50 pair of speakers that are amplified, wired and fitted properly into a sound proofed enclosure will always sound far better than a Ł200 pair of speakers that you've just chucked in.

Powercaps do what they're supposed to. I had a high end install in a previous car and on big bass notes the cars electrics would dim. Fitted a power cap, problem solved. Make sure you get the correct rated one, and keep it within 1m worth of wire from the amp.

make sure the amp can go down to the ohm's you wish to run as it will just over load it and die
I would do components up front and in the rear mate and amp the lot from a good 4channel amp
Can i ask why you are doing 3 subs ? as i used to compete in the comps ect and its not about having lots mate its all down to box design and the correct cable and power
