Watch the bass Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 some caps work some dont..like its been said you have to have good electrical to begin with..i use these and they are strong. i accidently shorted one and it almost blew my thumb off Pics of the hand, intresting art to give a thump.

skittlesRgood Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) they are probably carbon caps but they are wired in series so thats pretty strange... i'd like to hear the reason for that.

snafu Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 The answer is simple and it only applies to quality capacitors, of which the Rockfords are. Assuming the capacitor is properly sized for the job and located within 12 inches of the amplifier . . . would you rather have 12.6 Volts or 14.4 Volts available to your amplifier? It's just that simple. So for all you guys that say caps don't work, I would challenge you to learn more about the topic. Hint - start by learning about pulse width modulation and how the power supply of a car audio amplifier works. Hint 2 - read the sticky in regards in the RF forum. With so much good information available on this topic, ignorance is not bliss. Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!

Likely to increase their voltage capability. For example, the old RF 100 Farad capacitor was really (6) 600 Farad caps wired in series. Why? Simple - each cap was rated at 2.6 (or 2.8 volts - can't remember . . . ) Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!

Considering that car has stock alternator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA98hoe Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 The caps I have are 2.5v wired in series with a bank of 7 on each amp...I run 14v so I charge up to 16.8...that's why I ran 7..you can't overcharge them...and a bank of 6 was rated at 3400amps for 3-5 seconds...

Simple - each cap was rated at 2.6 (or 2.8 volts - can't remember . . . ) when a cap first charges there is a direct short, so each cap needs that 17v capability, since he charges at 16v+. but i guess thats the point of slow charging them, then the caps are never really discharged again, so ya. i could see that. but in series the capacity is cut in half.
