what is better in a system? 1 cap or 2? what would be better, a 1 farad cap or 2 .5 farad caps? both monster, just you save a little money going with 2 .5's. Is there a drawback to going with 2 .5s?
first of all, you don't really need a cap. and i wouldn't suggest getting one without already having an upgraded charging system. and when running a cap. general rule of thumb is 1 farad for every 1000w rms.
what do u mean upgraded chargins system? extra battery in the back? also, my main question also is: do you loose anything by wiring 2 (.5 farad) caps togather into the amp, rather than just 1 (1 farad) cap into the amp
you dont need a cap, they really are usless and a BIG waste of money. you can even tell a diff, and if you did get one, it puts more starin on ur alt, and then ur alt will soon crap out. i'm sure that you will have a louder system in time whithout a cap. theres no point for one, i dont like them
the problem is that, when your bass hits, your voltage drops like a b1tch, your battery doesn't have all the power the amp needs, and the alternator needs more Amperes, try getting a 200A or more...
Your cap keeps the voltage steady, but when the bass hits, all the power goes to the cap, and then to the amp, but the battery/alternator, needs more Amperes, so try getting a better alternator.
