08tahoe Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 So I just got a d3400 for under the hood of my 2007 Honda accord to replace my yellow top and a d3100 for the trunk, and I'm gonna put them in as soon as I charge them up with my new hf1215. I am running two Jl audio 13"w6v2 with a powerbass Asa 1500.1d amp and my Jl audio hd600/4 for my 6x9's and 6.5's and my question is should I remove the 5 farad tsunami cap that I have in the trunk or just leave it in? In other words would it just be taking up space or would it help a little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words would it just be taking up space or would it help a little? if it were me, I would take it out and sell it, since you have a rear battery, that is gonna be much better then a cap, more power for longer, and you have a good charger so those batteries are gonna be floating each night, the cap is just gonna be a drag on your system, what is your alternator size? I would take the cap out no matter what IMHO, by selling it you can recoup some of that money you spent Edited March 15, 2011 by dereileak Quote 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My alternator is a dc power 180 amp hp and I think the amps it puts out at idle are 130 or 120. Edited March 19, 2011 by sticky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
