Nine8SST Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) I may be wrong here but, with what you are running it seems to me that your stock alt, big 3, and an XS D3400 will be anough. Cant stress proper wiring enough!

Sanitarium Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Snafu said capacitors work. PERIOD. He also said 1 farad is good for about 75 watts of draw for 1 second. (75watts / 14.5 volts = 5.17xxxx amps enjoy buying several thousand farads to play a 30 second bass race) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
