Bronze Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 15 Registered: Feb-06 | well my question is: how can you improve the bass without upgrading amplifiers,speakers/subs,box and the tracks. oh and if you have a low alt and batterie will that affect the sound like if i have two amps that are using alot of watts cuz the lights dim can that affect the sound or the bass thanks |

Silver Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 799 Registered: Jun-05 | yes it will afect the sound because your not powering them efficiently you need to get a ho alt if your your lights are dimming or just get 2 diffrent amps(lower wattage) |

Silver Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 866 Registered: Sep-05 | If you are looking for more bass with what you have, just try moving the sub around to all different locations and keep listening to see what's loudest. Also, sound deadening the car will make it louder too. |

Bronze Member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 45 Registered: Feb-06 | a capacitor would prolly help because if your lights are dimming because then you prolly are clipping pretty bad too. got a 1.5 farad for $30 brand new on ebay. 1 farad per 1000 watts is good rule of thumb. |

Bronze Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 26 Registered: Feb-06 | i alreay have a 3.2 farad cap and when i out it in full the lights dim and wat you wthink about the amps |

Bronze Member Username: Sw9152Post Number: 47 Registered: Feb-06 | ive been happy with my audiobahn a18001dt. it claims 1200 rms at 2 0hm and 1800 rms at 1 ohm. i got it fairly cheap off ebay, $220. |

Silver Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 811 Registered: Jun-05 | hey guys when you have a capacitor it makes itr worse it adds so much strain onto your alternator and will kill it quick(trust me on this happened to me)and it does this because it not only has to keep up with the amp but has to keep up with the cap and has to keep on chrging it thats all a cap does is charge and discharge only works if you have a ho alt |

Bronze Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 32 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah but have you ever buy a refurbished amp will worth the money and wats the deal on factory refurbished cuz im getting pretty good deals for hifonics, clarion, precicion power/directed products and i want to buy them but i don know there factory refurbished so i dont know |

Silver Member Username: Nnnnick_bNc Usa Post Number: 377 Registered: Jan-05 | A capacitor will not help your electrical problems. It could make it worse. Your cars electrical system has to work harder to keep the capacitor charged and power the amps. A capacitor is only good if you electrical system is addequate in the first place. A capacitor helps keep the voltage going to your amps from dipping during loud use due to the lack of capacitance in the power wire, thus making the amps run cooler and more efficiently. |

Silver Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 814 Registered: Jun-05 | hifonics is a good budget amp it is overrated but they are cheap and actually that audiobahn amp a18001dt is a good amp it has been bench tested by people here and puts out the claimed power |

Bronze Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 40 Registered: Feb-06 | in sonicelectronix is a hifonics bx1600d but is refurbished but is 160 + shipping wath you think about that and there the kicker's l7 refurbished for 160 12 inch wath you think of those |

Bronze Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 49 Registered: Feb-06 | wath you think about this refurbished items will worth the money??? |

Silver Member Username: LewassBloomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 153 Registered: Jan-06 | Definitely don't get a refurbed L7, that has trouble written all over it. Amps are a different story though, because 90% of the time an amp goes bad, it is relatively cheap and relatively easy to fix. |
