Im thinking no but i thought i would run it my you guys first. btw im pretty handy with a soldering iron 98 csvt t-red.. sho-shop intake, b&m, fidanza, spec1 clutch, Torsen, DMD,optimized Y& TB, Brullen, rear strut bar,h&r's,17" konig traffik's.

But i dont want to add another non fused dis. box. and i cant get one big dis. box cause my cap. isnt supposed to be fused. and i only want the cap to power/support the sub amp.+ to top it all off my cheap. 98 csvt t-red.. sho-shop intake, b&m, fidanza, spec1 clutch, Torsen, DMD,optimized Y& TB, Brullen, rear strut bar,h&r's,17" konig traffik's.
