like I said before, the capacitance is to smooth out spikes in demand on the HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR you neglected to notice.

Nothing more.

Glass, say if I want to use capacitor for the same purpose i.e. smooth out spikes in demand, how do I go about to decide how much capacitance that I need and where should I put them i.e. one for the whole system just before the distributor block or one just before the sub amplifier?
Thanks

capacitance.. ehh usually about 1 farad per every 500 watts or so is prudent if you want to go that route.

Adire's subs are a good product for the money.
However I had a different goal.
Money wasn't my primary concern as I'm seeking sponsorship from Eclipse and Zapco possibly.
I also like the Titanium subs, but not everybody wants to drop $599 on a 12" sub, or $1198 on a pair of them.
Then again, not everyone wants to drop $2,400 on the amp to drive them either.

OK i read so much sh!t up in here and it helped but it was help full so i decided to go with the jl that right jl!!..now i have 2 13w7 but i do not want them to make a long story short IM not getting my money worth jl could of done better for a price like that 750 come on
so i decided to go with 6 12w6v2 that will push better then 2 13w7 IM sure of it as for the amp i think i might go with the MA? that 4400 W and a 950 phoenix gold amp that 1800 W what 6200w that power IM going to hit at least over 165db i almost went with Audiobahn AWT12X i think that a good sub but IM looking for something to stop your show.

if you want something to "stop our show"

4 15" brahma extremes...with two C2K4KW running them, you will stop everyones show...

but also bust your bank account doing so..

wow...GW, can you image that? lol...

yea sponsorship from eclipse, when your only using subs, a couple speakers, and a head unit from them. better go all out with amps, crossovers, eq's, and tv's from ONE company, drop zapco. eclipse makes it all, thats your only chance. and they're for sq not spl, so why would you even use zapco amps, mcintosh would be a better bet if not all out eclipse since, "Money wasn't my primary concern".

you've apparently no knowledge of Zapco what so ever. I've also dealt with companies like Fujitsu Ten before and I know exactly what would be involved in sponsorship. That being said, I'm not going to bother answering teh rest.

I actually already dropped going with Eclipse anyway because I decided to use their source, and switch to DynAudio for a front stage, dropped rear fill entirely, and might end up changing subs as well.
I haven't entirely decided but I have time to make up my mind.
