Bigvell Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Ive seen a few installs that have both a capacitor and a extra battery in the trunk. They say batteries such as kinetics hold as much power as a 100 - 200 farad capacitor.?. So why have a funky lil off brand 1.5 farad cap next to an extra batt? SMH and everything shares the same little ground. Personally I think its for cosmetics the guy was running about 2k RMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the bass Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 ^^^Noob and NoNoob bashers, you are! A cap can be usefull, if the electrical system are realy strong enough, a cap can do his work in a positiv way. Last and not least, if he have only 2 batts on the stockalt, it´s good enough for a park and pound.

wheres the flex at Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 That sounds just like me right there. Lol I have a Rockford 2f cap and a kinetic in my truck. I'm keeping the cap for the easy to see voltmeter until mine comes in. It keeps me safe from voltage drop haha.
