wheres the flex at Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I got the big 3 done plus all 1/0 from the alt ground and positive And added a brand new kinetic 600, voltage went from 14.2 to 14.6 but my system seems quieter? Is this normal? I have 1/0 running to the back with a fuse in between the 2 batteries and then My other battery runs into a 2f cap then in my amp. Any help out there?

Rebel4055 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 You really don't have the proper electrical system to be powering a cap. If you had a proper H/O alt and a couple batteries then maybe... But for now just ditch the cap. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

Rebel4055 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don't think I can elaborate anymore than I did lol. I mean proper H/O alt as in one that actually does what it says.

getlocivic Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 capacitors dont work worth a damn they store INSTANT power and as soon as the cap is drained it then in return draws power from your batteries on top of what your amps are already trying to pull so ur batteries will never catch up.. and ever see them caps with pretty lil lights on them?? ive seen them come on and off during the day n night and drain the battery dead so ditch the cap and i bet money u see a improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Caps don't help an ailing electrical systems. They make it worse because they just create another draw.
