Caps! Need some advice and help


Recommended Posts

ill have a video today of what 8 banks can do with 2 m4s strapped on a ddz @ .5 ohms (.25 each amp). all i can say is, what drop?

So would you feel safe bumping your system on a long drive with those caps?

yea definetly. why wouldnt i? whats the difference between a long drive and a short drive?

A long drive is longer than a short drive lol. What I meant by it since caps don't carry the reserve batteries do you don't worry about them getting hot after a while. Being that they simply haven't been as tested in daily setups as they have been for SPL.

Current Build:

1999 Tahoe #ComingSoon

you gott ask yourself..

do i want to hold voltage in the 12s after my alt can supply no more and carry around hundres of pounds

or

do i want to hold voltage where my alt charges and slowly decline into the 13s after stuff gets hot (assuming you dont have a enough caps)

well i am testing in a daily setup. I know snowdrifter and slammin have as well. under a daily load even if you full tilt everywhere the caps will be fine. no matter how long or how hard you play. your subs or alternator will give out first.

But is a H/O alt still needed for more power than an original stock alt can provide? Meaning, if I'm running 4000 watts, will a stock alt that's 130a with an ultra cap be sufficient.

an alternator allows you to play longer. sure you can run a 9k on a bank of caps, but not for very long. the alternator is and will always be the source of power.
