Bump4life Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 lookw like even a 1 farad cap could help on a burp then? maybe for a smaller system? 1 Quote Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

8ight Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I always figured a big enough capacitor or bank would help, people wouldn't use them in competitions for no reason. Very cool test and very cool equipment, keep up the good work maybe someday I'll be able to afford all of your tools. Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 That's weird that the 100 farad cap had more voltage drop than the 1 farad cap at the 1 ohm load Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonSyns Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 So after seeing this, I will probably go ahead and do what I wanted to try in a thread I made awhile back about adding a capacitor to my system. I'll try adding 2 caps, 1 cap to each amp as well as get an H.O Alt to see what it does....

TonyD'Amore Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Would like to see what the results with your primary battery and a large AGM battery like a XS 3100 ran without a capacitor. This would be a similar set up like a lot of us members would run and see what the numbers would be. Also, stock alt? Another big battery would only help on the runs where the voltage dropped below 12.6 volts. At least, that is what I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hammer Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Awesome! Puts it to rest with real world testing. Cool how the cap bank actually raised output by a good amount.

justin0943 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Awesome! Puts it to rest with real world testing. Cool how the cap bank actually raised output by a good amount. caps is like battery it stores power and when your amp needs power quick it takes it from the cap and your electrical.without it it takes all the power from your battery and that causes headlights to dim.
