SnowDrifter Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I got mine from a local place. Either of those would workTBH you can use 1 watt resistors. No need for 10 watt. I just got them because I found the size easy to work with. Something like this would do. Or any of the ones you postedhttp://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Dale/RS01A50R00FE70/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtbXrIkmrvidNU7x4nnwrw0G2W4a2PA4y8%3dAnd nope, nothing else. That is my balancing circuit ~~~~~~~~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...
barney91 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 so say I bought an AGM battery with the big 3 upgrade on a 120 amp or bigger alternator would I be able to buy 2 supercapacitors like the ones @banginhummer posted would that work on a 2k RMS system? Personally I'd spend the extra couple bucks and get thesehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Maxwell-BCAP0010-7-Ultracapacitor-Surge-Booster-assembly-/370937036668?pt=Battery_Chargers&hash=item565d91ff7c is that look like a good set to run with a singer 350alt and 2 or 3 bats to power 4k watts and still stay around 14v Alpine 9884 RF T2 comp set up front The Epicenter 2x RF T10001bd 2x Sundown sa-15 t-line Big 3 Smd DD-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump4life Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 All I want to say is if you are unsure of what you are doing, dont fully understand the purpose of these and dont understand the basics, i wouldnt put supercaps in your ride. they can be dangerous if missused.

MACnonsence6 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 how do you know how many banks or banks of what size you would need with your equipment. like ok i wana run well say 8k rounded up in my neon. the biggest h.o alt i can find atm is like 220 im trying to find something bigger i plan to get a xs power d7500 for where my spare tire is and something big but maybe not that big up front. now i have room for 2 other batteries on the size but not something terrible large. maybe there d1400 on each side but i have a fairly small area where i think caps would work well behind my box. so whats the math as to what size bank i would need for an 800 ish max amp draw. this is a daily car. not a burp I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I like 100-200 farads for every 1000 watts, personally. And don't mix a d7500 with a d1400. A d1400 is a 14v battery and cannot be used with a 12v battery. Use a d3400 instead ~~~~~~~~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...
dereileak Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I was pretty sure that when you wire them in series that you add the voltage but the farads stay the same, like if you have 3 - 2.7v at 3000 farad and wired them In Series u would have a setup that could handle a charge up to 8.1 volts with a storage of 3000 farads still, not 1000 farads. Otherwise If you had 3000 caps in series you would have a circuit that would be able to charge at 8,100 volts and only have 1farad of storage from what u were saying 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1JZSoarer-ED6Civic Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Damn have I got some learning to do! Lol. I thought capacitors had their place in car audio. It seems that here in Australia, a lot of people are still stuck on what they are actually used for... 100 farad per 1000w rms! The people that do tell me they work, recommended to me 1 farad per 1000w rms??? So here I am to get schooled!! Lol Now I take it that the 1 farad cap I bought is not the type I want to be using? Or is it? Will it be ok to use for music based system? Appreciate any help you guys can give. Cheers, Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
