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.

I'm gonna hate

That's weird that the 100 farad cap had more voltage drop than the 1 farad cap at the 1 ohm load

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....

JL Audio 360.4 (Mids & Highs Amp) x1

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.

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.
