Recommended Posts

what is going to be ore beneficial for me running at 1300 watts rms at 2 ohms ?

i have the 4 farad cap already.. but if the big three is going to serve more of a purpose then i would like to know..

i use to be running 400 watt rms at 2 ohm in my car and it handled it just fine..

Big 3 would be very helpful, get a voltmeter as well

yea...in fact i say lose the cap.... it will do more harm than good in your setup. big 3 in 1/0

i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it

Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit. If I had a whole Hertz front stage my ears would jizz all over my cheeks.

Just curious, what's your reasoning for this?

Because some caps help, not all caps are bad.

Edit for more details: was going to just leave it at that but I couldn't.

Ok yes there are junk caps out there that don't do any good. But there are good ones as well. Best thing you can do is get a DMM and do actual tests on your vehicle to see where your voltage is with and without it. I'm not going to get into the argument of good cap/bad cap there are a ton of threads on the subject already.

Jut for a big 3 10-12 ft should be just fine. With proper fusing of course. :)
