2nd Battery, H/O Alteanator, or Large Capasitor???


Recommended Posts

A cap doesn't provide more power, it's designed to 'stiffen' the voltage to the amp, nothing else. If the current isn't there, a cap won't help.

2700w rms....you need an alt. battery is just a band-aid to the problem and capacitor isnt an appropriate solution for the issue you have, which is insufficient amperage.

Alt + big3 in 1/0 and go from there.

CURRENT SYSTEM:

  • Alternator:
    1. Stock alt on mids/highs
    2. Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v
  • Batteries: (2) XS D1400s
  • Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks
  • Headunit: 80-PRS
  • Sub Amp: DC 5.0k
  • Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones
  • Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal.
  • Mids & Highs Amp: CT125.4
  • Active Components:
    • Mids RE XXX 6.5c
    • Highs - 3 RE XXX tweeters per side(A pillar)
  • Noise Control: Damplifier Pro all over the cab.

Really, the answer is that you need an alternator, a battery, and good cable to connect them. As far as which one you get first, it's kind of a toss-up. The battery would make a big improvement, but will be a heavy strain against your stock 105 amp small case 6G alternator. Those units are someone failure prone, and will not be very happy with the extra load from the system. We build a 6 phase 240 amp unit that bolts right in place of the stock 3 phase alternator for $399. That would be a great choice for your power level, and will make plenty of juice at idle. Installation is a pain on that car, unfortunately.

Please DO NOT waste your money on a cap, it will do absolutely nothing for your electrical system.

We can also professionally build cables to your length specifications.
