Hey Herb,
I don't think a cap will prohibit this "thump"
sound from happening. My understanding of a cap is that it "stores" power
so that when you hit a deep bass note, it'll hit with full force or
power. You're obviously getting enough power to make this "thump" sound so
you shouldn't
This may sound silly...but they used to sell an
anti-thump filter. It was used when you turned on your stereo to keep the subs
from thumping.

You can run it off the car battery, but you will need at least one wire
since the terminals will not just conveniently reach each other.

Hi Jason,
It seemed to me the particular shop I went to dealt with new cars almost
entirely. I think the simplicity of my setup had them somewhat confused.
I ordered a big cap, btw. At least so far my thoughts are on track with you
and some others, so hopefully I'll be able to fix this soon.

Herb,
I would think your on the right track by putting a big 1 farad capacitor on
the power source to your amp. I am really suprised by the local stereo shop
being stumped. You might ask them to install one and give it a test that way
you can get out of paying for one of those if it doesnt do
Howdy,
Just wanted to drop a line and
make a special announcement. Today I traveled to a little town in Pennsylvania
called Belle Vernon and purchased myself a new (to me) car. It's a 1964 Impala
SS. Very nice shape, blue with a white top, older frame off, needs the interior
completed,
I think you are correct. It just sends a big
bag of juice through the amps, and BOOM!

Vernon,
Is it a digital or analog meter? A digital most likely will have a read out in
numbers lit up on a screen. An analog meter has a needle that moves across a
scale.
A digital is much easier to read and understand. If it's an analog

It’s certainly possible that the tank and/or the gauge were
changed at some point to a later one. That might explain a few things.
