JesseyMclame Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Okay, so whenever I talk audio in front of this guy, he just talks out of his ass like he knows everything. His planet audio 2400.1, is 2400 watts "rms" and he "burped it at 7000 watts", but anyways, i got into an argument with him today about how an hc600 would be much better as opposed to any great 1 farad cap, and I just Let him win because he talked about why caps are waaaay better, and had more "facts". I couldn't really justify why batts are better do to lack of info. I've been told they're more efficient, better for alts, but anyways, my question is, WHY are power cells way better than capacitors ? Current setup in my 96 Hoe Hu - Pioneer DEH-80prs. Amps - (4) Crossfire C5 1700D's, MTX Thunder 5604(mids), PPI Art 300.2 (tweets) Batts - 4 91ah rear batts, 50ah batt up front. Subs - 2 Crossfire XSv2 18's Alt - Singer 330A Front stage - Random JL & Eclipse mids, Eclipse tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Because caps are sold at the swap shop and good batteries are not. End of discussion. Tell him to hook up 6 caps f his choice for a 5k amp. And you hook up 3 batteries of your choice.

graham0599 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Batteries also hold a "natural charge". A capacitor can drop voltage must faster, therefore making your alt work much harder.

JesseyMclame Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yeah I just read through it. That was a damn good thread. I'm glad I have a better understanding of caps now.
