New member Username: FeaielPost Number: 5 Registered: May-06 | Does this amp have multiple fuses by any chance? Is the power led on? Might be worth checking if ya haven't already. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1003 Registered: Dec-05 | do you have an HO alt zulkir? if not you shouldn't be using a cap |
|
New member Username: FeaielPost Number: 7 Registered: May-06 | I have a 1Fd cap and no HO alt. Doesn't seem to hurt anything. Why would you have to use both out of curiosity? |

Bronze Member Username: ZulkirU.S.A. Post Number: 84 Registered: Dec-05 | he dont kno waht he is talkign about..its fine to use a cap all it sose is keep teh voltage stedy..ex your sub hits its takes 1 volt from your battery and 1 volt from the cap insted of dropen your battery down 2 volts..it makes for a better hit everytime so each hit gets equil volts. your alt dosent have to charge your battery as fast eather. and no i dont have a ho because i dont nee one for the volume lvl i have it at..adn if i did get a ho i would beable to shatter my dam windows ad i dont want that. |

Bronze Member Username: ZulkirU.S.A. Post Number: 85 Registered: Dec-05 | no i am not i get it to about 40 and it shakes realy bad and it can still go up higher w/o a ho alt and if i had one it would even still go higher. |

So if the alt is supplying the voltage then it has to send the supply to the amp and to the cap so it has to run the amp and charge the cap because cap's arent endless supplies of voltage. so if your alt isnt big enough to run the amp then it isnt big enough to run the amp aswell as charge the cap(so when the cap has to seady the voltage it can)which it can't do if it is consantly trying to discharge |

Bronze Member Username: ZulkirU.S.A. Post Number: 86 Registered: Dec-05 | that was retard terms...all a cap dose is try to hold the voltage stedy for every hit do the voltage dosent dip up and down. i have a seta degree in electroncs |

Bronze Member Username: ZulkirU.S.A. Post Number: 87 Registered: Dec-05 | great.. well i replaces the fuses and i went to replug in the cap to give it power and the + -ports on teh amp started to smoke..lol that cant be good. i am at a lose i cant figure out y it did that or even tosted the fuses to begin with. anyone have any idea or somthing i can try befor i call the factory? |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 1017 Registered: Dec-05 | i do know what i'm talking about, a cap won't help without an HO, just puts more strain to your alt. www.wickedcases.com |

New member Username: FeaielPost Number: 8 Registered: May-06 | I did a bit of reserch into this and I did find that a cap without a HO alt could be a problem, but the cap would have to be on a larger scale than a 1 farad. The idea is that the cap would "overdraw" from the battery/alt and possibly damaging them. Seems that you would really need to be talking something in the relm of 5fd or higher to have any kind of problem like this unless you already have a weak/failing bat/alt. |

Bronze Member Username: ZulkirU.S.A. Post Number: 88 Registered: Dec-05 | well i have a new alt and i have a new jell battery |
|
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 2102 Registered: Jun-05 | ya know kidding buddy but you need the power to charge the cap in order for it to discharge to give it power and in whicg case you would need a ho alt i believe you should know this if you have a degree in electronics also if your that great in electronics then why you asking us cause were just idiots okay so heres my next ? how did you wire everything were do u hvae your power wire going your grounds and everything explain please then we might be able to help you |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 706 Registered: Mar-06 | Whats a seta degree? is it something like what bestbuy gives to thier installers after in house training? |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 257 Registered: Jan-06 | juliob is right a cap is useless if u dont have the power to run it with but u dont necessarily need a HO ALT. Adding an extra battery would have more of an impact then a HO alternator cause when the current exceeds the amperage of the alternator then what it takes from the battery anyways so it just matters if u got a really good extra batteries because i had an extra yellowtop a 20F cap and a 2500watrms amp on a stock alternator and it was maintaining 14V all the time |

Bronze Member Username: ZulkirU.S.A. Post Number: 89 Registered: Dec-05 | that degree is what u get after u take a highschool voc class..student degree in electronics |

Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 928 Registered: Feb-06 | just curious, but does that mean they gave you a degree for taking one high school class? if so i got ripped cause i only got one degree from high school. |
