ALPINE408 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I guess it is a matter of personal preference. Caps are only good as long as your alternator can charge them. So in his case it may be worth it. During bass hits the cap is sucked dry, the alternator then has to recharge the cap as well as supply the amp with the current it demands. I personally would just stick with a H/O alternator and be done with it. Maybe add a second battery if needed. ive noticed caps are all good untill you get near 3000rms that TRUE rms lol but the lil power cells work great so im told Have you ever had your woofers blown?

David Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 ive had problems with caps useing high wattage..... the cap and the batt drain leaving your alt pulling even more current making your problem bigger as it charges both the bat and the cap while the audio amp(s) pull the power faster than they can charge low volts with high current draw = fire! ohh I totally know about caps, I just wanted him to explain why and not just post NO. Besides he's not running a high wattage system IMO with a 200a alt he should be more than fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
