mattc3366 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hey guys, quick question. I have a jl 500/1 and I just got a phoenix gold zx450 . Can I wire the 4amp channel up along with the jl amp on a 1 farad cap or is that a bad idea? Should I get a higher farad cap ? Im also going to be ordering an aq 1200 soon. So would I be better off getting like a 5 farad cap or getting a decent battery up front ?

roscoe1129 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 heres the deal a cap is only good for about 1k and for short burst.... todays music/ systems/ songs require much more than just a capacitor... even a small battery like a kinetik hc600 = 100 1 farad capacitors musically....

mattc3366 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Alright! Thanks for all the replys ! Any battery suggestions for a budget of around 100? And could I temporarily use both amps on the cap till I get a battery?

fmedina Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Lol say no to caps. As you can see we are all pretty much anti capacitor. Kinda worthless for a daily driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought one and noticed no difference, but that was before I joined the forum. As far as I can tell with the two batteries above, the 600B has blade style terminals and the plain 600 has normal posts. If anyone else notices anything else different other than that and color let me know... been trying to see the $25 difference. Also OP, do the big 3 if you haven't already.
